Inspire Me Award 2025 Recognizes the Best of the Best in Luxury Tourism

On 15 July 2026, the organiser of the ‘Karriere Kick’ career fair, KITICON GmbH & Co. KG, invites visitors to the Telekom Dome in Bonn from 8:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Students and training representatives will compete against each other at the foosball table, striking up conversations in a playful way – an easy way for companies to get to know the skilled workers of tomorrow.

Demonstrate Soft Skills, Discover Talents

‍

The students are randomly assigned to different teams with training representatives via their smartphones. Each round lasts two to three minutes, followed by brief discussions about training and career opportunities.

‍

This creates an initial personal exchange in which students can demonstrate their strengths, team spirit and motivation. Even shy young people can engage in conversation here without feeling pressured. The event offers companies the opportunity to discover talent at an early stage and to inspire them to apply for apprenticeships through personal interaction.

‍

‘I am proud that we are able to give young people insights into their career prospects – authentically, inspiringly and, above all, on an equal footing. As representatives of Germany's most innovative career fair, we are creating new opportunities for genuine orientation. The fact that we can make a difference in our home region motivates us greatly as a team,’ comments Janik Vogel, Head of Digital Experience at KITICON and project manager for Karriere Kick.

Strong Local Partners

‍

Companies such as steep GmbH, preventech by Patrick Kelbch and Ferdinand Voigt GmbH have recognised the potential of the concept and are involved as partners in Karriere Kick in order to strengthen the Bonn/Rhein-Sieg region and actively counteract the shortage of skilled workers.

MOTION TM Vertriebs GmbH has been shaking up the German mobile phone market since 2003. From smartphones to multimedia accessories, from contracts to services – everything here revolves around technology, speed and transformation. But even the most agile brand can stall at some point: MOTION's corporate design was getting on in years, its dynamism fading. The visual identity no longer reflected the innovative strength and energy that characterises the company on a daily basis. Our mission? To get MOTION moving again – visually, strategically, tangibly. With a modern corporate brand design, we have created an identity that conveys speed, change and digital competence at first glance.

Timeframe: May 2021 – October 2023

Industry: Mobile & Telecommunications

Objective: Create a modern, dynamic brand identity for MOTION TM that visualises the philosophy ‘Success means movement’, positions the brand as an agile partner in the mobile communications market and offers a flexible design that grows with the brand.

Services:

• Logo development
• Corporate color system & typografie
• Imagery & visual design elements
• Brand style guide
• Social media
• Business stationery & advertising materials
• Roll-out support

The Challenge: The mobile communications market is constantly changing: new technologies, digital services and increasing competition required MOTION TM to have a strong, recognisable presence. At the same time, the brand had to become flexible enough to serve modular and digital applications across all channels and clearly differentiate itself as an agile, innovative partner.

Approach: We started with a comprehensive analysis of the brand, competition and objectives in order to clearly define the core values of MOTION TM. Based on this, we developed a leitmotif centred on movement, communication and customer relations as a guideline for a corporate design that is modern, dynamic and recognisable. The logo, colours, typography and imagery were designed to convey speed, energy and customer proximity. All elements were bundled in a flexible style guide and implemented across all relevant channels – from business stationery and advertising materials to digital platforms – to create a sustainable, consistent brand image that conveys a sense of dynamic energy.

Result: MOTION TM's new brand identity shows how consistent, dynamic design can change the perception of a brand: it makes the philosophy ‘success means movement’ visible and strengthens recognition. At the same time, the flexible design system creates the basis for the brand to remain consistent across all channels and adapt quickly to new requirements – a measurable gain in agility, customer focus and future viability.

With Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours and Emerald Cruises & Tours, it has made its mark on the market with visionary concepts, award-winning all-inclusive comfort and luxurious travel experiences. One example of this innovative strength is the Scenic Eclipse – an expedition yacht that has been exploring the most remote corners of the world since 2019. In order to communicate this unique positioning even more strongly in the B2B sector and expand it sustainably, we have developed an effective marketing strategy together with the Swiss Scenic team that goes far beyond traditional approaches.
