Press Release January 23, 2014
Recognition of brand preservation and development
Icehotel was today awarded the annual SIGNUMPRISET® in recognition of its long term work to preserve and develop the brand.
The panel, representing industry, research and legal sectors, was struck by the company’s straightforward and well thought-through internal communication, but also the decision to use the ephemeral nature of the ice as a core value of the brand.
The prize, which was founded by Swedish IP law firm Groth & Co and now running in its twentieth consecutive year serves to acknowledge Nordic companies that lead the way of successful brand management.
The winner was announced with a short ceremony in Stockholm today.
