Bertelsmann Marketing Services achieved outstanding results at this year’s Druck & Medien Awards in Berlin, taking home one gold and three silver trophies. “This recognition is a tremendous success for our teams and a source of great pride,” said Dirk Kemmerer, CEO of Bertelsmann Marketing Services.
In late October, the Druck & Medien Awards once again honored Germany’s leading print and media companies and projects at a festive gala at the Grand Hyatt Berlin. More than 500 guests from printing firms, agencies, and training institutions celebrated the industry’s most innovative and high-performing players – including two Bertelsmann Marketing Services subsidiaries.
Gold for “eesii”: next-level innovation
The Gold Award in the category “Most Innovative Online Printer of the Year” went to “eesii,” the programmatic print platform developed by Campaign, part of Bertelsmann Marketing Services. “We’re absolutely thrilled to have taken first place in the category ‘Most Innovative Online Printer of the Year.’ A big thank-you to the jury and the entire team behind the Druck & Medien Awards for this special recognition,” said Nik Bockmann, Managing Director of Campaign. “This award confirms our ambition to keep driving innovation, quality, and the customer experience in online printing to the next level.”
“eesii” offers advertisers a state-of-the-art solution that seamlessly bridges print and digital. The platform enables automated, personalized, and data-driven direct-mail campaigns that deliver higher conversion rates and more efficient workflows. A key advantage is its compatibility with all leading marketing automation suites. Even without direct integration, “eesii” helps companies plan, manage, and execute print campaigns quickly, transparently, and with measurable results.
Three silver awards for Mohn Media
In addition to “eesii’s” gold win, Mohn Media scored three silver awards, once again demonstrating its strength and versatility. The Gütersloh-based printing company placed second in the categories “Customer and Sales Team of the Year,” “Training Company of the Year,” and “Catalog Printer of the Year.” Although the top prize narrowly eluded the team, the triple silver recognition underscores the breadth and quality of Mohn Media’s achievements – from customer service and training to sustainable production. The catalog team impressed the jury through its close collaboration with client Eurotops and the tailored development of digital tools such as the online platform “confero,” which enables centralized, efficient order management.
Mohn Media’s strong commitment to training was also acknowledged – from practical learning content and close partnerships to a wide range of opportunities for young professionals to grow and develop. In the “Catalog Printer of the Year” category, Mohn Media stood out with Garpa’s main catalog 2025, which set new standards in sustainable production and packaging.
A strong signal for the entire group
Bertelsmann Marketing Services ranks among the major winners of this year’s Druck & Medien Awards, taking home one gold and three silver trophies. “These awards are a powerful affirmation of our shared innovative strength,” said Dirk Kemmerer. “Whether in digital print solutions, outstanding customer service, or sustainable production, they show that our companies are defining standards across their industries.”
