CBA, the international branding agency and member of WPP, has been honored with two Red Dot Awards: Brands & Communication Design 2025, reinforcing its reputation for creativity and excellence across its global network. 

This year’s awards celebrate two standout projects: the Caramelo Hotels, developed by CBA Spain for Globales Hotels, and the pro bono rebranding of the French non-profit charity Moteur!, led by CBA Paris. Together, they exemplify the agency’s ability to blend strategic thinking, cultural insight, and creative craftsmanship to build brands and experiences that connect deeply with audiences. 

Recognized as one of the world’s most prestigious design competitions, the Red Dot Award: Brands & Communication Design honors exceptional work across 18 categories. In 2025, entries from 58 countries were evaluated by an independent jury of 30 international experts, who assessed each submission for its innovation, design quality, and cultural relevance. 

/ Igniting Change with Moteur!

Launched in 2024, the rebranding of Moteur! centers on the idea of ignition: a symbol of unleashing potential and driving social change. Rooted in the concept of “gratitude for cultivating uniqueness”, the new identity is anchored by the tagline “A thank you that changes your life. A thank you that connects us.”

Through deep cultural exploration and an understanding of what inspires young people today, CBA Paris crafted a visual and verbal identity that breaks conventions and creates meaningful connections. The Red Dot jury praised the project for its cultural resonance, emotional depth, and purposeful creativity.

/ Caramelo Hotels: A Taste of Mediterranean Hospitality

With Caramelo Hotels, CBA Spain has crafted a brand that embodies the warmth and authenticity of Mediterranean hospitality. The name itself is simple yet evocative, suggesting comfort, sweetness, and a genuine sense of welcome.

The visual identity reflects this ethos, drawing on the colors, light, and textures of the Mediterranean to create a look and feel that is both inviting and memorable. Beyond aesthetics, Caramelo Hotels represents a philosophy: every stay is about comfort, human connection, and moments that linger. Through a strategic and emotional approach, CBA has shaped a cohesive brand experience that captures the spirit of Mediterranean living and invites guests to enjoy it in its most authentic form.

/ A Global Celebration of Creativity

Both projects will be featured in the official Red Dot Winners exhibition from November 2025 and included in the international publications that accompany the awards. 

These achievements further establish CBA as a global leader in branding and communication design, building on its consistent track record of delivering innovative, relevant, and high-quality creative solutions for clients worldwide.
