An Emergency Call for Respect (OVAL Belgium)
​Together with the Brussels fire brigade, OVAL Belgium launched a high-profile campaign to address the alarming increase in violence against firefighters during emergency interventions. Graffiti murals in high-traffic areas of the city illustrated real fire brigade interventions, and a red telephone was installed next to each 'mural'. Each time the fire brigade received an emergency call, the phone would ring and passers-by were invited to pick up and hear powerful stories of firefighters facing aggression. This real-time interaction made the campaign not only visible, but also impossible to ignore.

Pattex Upcycling Booth (OVAL Germany)Each of us plays a role in creating a sustainable world. This requires not only big plans, but also small ideas. And Pattex wants to initiate just those creative ideas on a human scale. In our fast-paced world, used items in everyday life are often overlooked. But huge potential lies in these forgotten items. The Pattex Upcycling Booth brings this to life by transforming old into new while celebrating creativity and sustainability. This mobile pop-up workshop is more than just a space - it is an invitation to rediscover the value of things and push the boundaries of what is possible. And it is a powerful communication tool that makes Pattex's brand values instantly tangible. With its clever combination of sustainable materials, thoughtful modular design and inviting aesthetics, the booth itself becomes a symbol of what the brand stands for: creativity, sustainability and DIY mentality.

With the four nominations, OVAL strengthens its position as a leading creative brand experience agency in Europe:

With these nominations, we prove that creativity and empathy are the most powerful tools to make real connections. It is an honour to create impact with these projects and to see our vision on brand experience recognised internationally." - Sebastien van Reet, Creative Director OVAL Belgium

The Bea World Awards will be presented on Friday 29 November during Bea World, the international festival for events and live communication, in Rome.
