Only a few months after the launch of the digital experience hub GROHE X, the internationally renowned Red Dot Award Brands & Communication Design 2021 in the category “Digital Solutions” has now been awarded to GROHE, a leading global brand for holistic bathroom solutions and kitchen faucets. Prof. Dr. Peter Zec, initiator and CEO of Red Dot, emphasized the importance of digital solutions for the success of brands and companies – especially today: “As an award winner, GROHE has proven that they think ‘outside the box’. The brand knows how to act quickly in times of crisis and use upheavals for new design approaches. In this way, they master important challenges and also make a valuable contribution to the further development of society.”

The brand experience of today and tomorrow

With GROHE X, LIXIL in EMENA has developed the first digital platform of its kind in the industry for its GROHE sanitary brand together with strong partners VOK DAMS, IBM and D'art. As a content hub tailored to the interests of B2B target groups for product presentation, inspiration and know-how transfer combined with exchange opportunities with experts as well as service-oriented offers such as tutorials and specialist events, GROHE X allows visitors to experience the brand individually. Since its launch in mid-March this year, GROHE X has quickly proven to be a success. The outstanding visitor numbers – currently 2,500 daily – prove that GROHE X is a spot-on creative solution for the communications challenges both of today and the future. GROHE X is thus seen as a driver of innovation in its own right, serving not as a replacement for traditional communication, but as a starting point for a new era of brand presentation and communication in the B2B world: GROHE X already presents itself as an alternative that is flexible enough to keep pace with the rapid developments in communication.
