Wavin selects Het PR Bureau

Back to news overview

Wavin has chosen Het PR Bureau as their PR and communications partner. Wavin strives towards thought leadership in the field of future proof cities and among key themes such as extreme weather conditions, water management, sewerage, smart building and urban greenification. Wavin operates globally and is mostly known as market leader in plastic pipe systems for water distribution, waste water drainage and rainwater management. Together, Wavin and Het PR Bureau will work on generating more visibility by creating stories with impact.

Working together for a better tomorrow

Cities are attractive, but very vulnerable. UNICEF recently calculated that 70 percent of the world’s population will be living in a big city by 2030. And as the cities are growing, so do the challenges. Wavin seeks to play an important role in keeping urban areas liveable.

Emiel van den Boomen, Marketing Communication Manager at Wavin: “We are excited to launch campaigns with Het PR Bureau and show the world Wavin’s efforts to keep cities all around the world liveable. Wavin wants to inspire with technical possibilities. We offer products, but that’s not the main story we want to tell. So don’t expect technical content full of jargon, but stories about people living and working together. People that want to know what they can do now to make the world of tomorrow a better place.”

Wavin, an innovative pioneer

Camiel Overgaauw, Partner and Wavin’s account manager at Het PR Bureau: “Wavin is an amazing company with Dutch roots and a big track record in innovation. They are true pioneers: in the 50s they were the first in the world to introduce plastic pipes for drinking water, a true revolution as these pipes were better, lighter and more sustainable than prior products. Now they are a global player and offer a broad product portfolio with advanced solutions for water management, sewer, sanitation and smart building to improve indoor climate with i.e. underfloor heating and cooling. They have a lot to offer the world when it comes to building and planning ‘resilient and future proof cities’. Through amongst others storytelling and PR activations we will make that visible.”

“For a startup brand like ours, it was extremely important to see frequent media coverage. Het PR Bureau has laid the foundation for our growth from Amsterdam to 6 other cities in the Netherlands. Despite our relatively modest budgets, we were able to achieve enormous coverage together. I look back on a number of activations with great pleasure.”

"Netflix was ​​looking for the best suitable communication partner in every country. This could also be a 'local hero', as long as they are big enough. For the introduction of Netflix in the Netherlands and Belgium, we have partnered up with Het PR Bureau. The desired Service Level Agreement was new to Het PR Bureau, but they adapted very quickly and it soon surfaced. Within the international framework, they surprised us with their proactivity and creative ideas."

”The uniqueness of Het PR Bureau is that the people are able to both think on a strategic level and at the same time roll up their sleeves to set up an event or activation. A high-quality one-stop-shop in the field of PR, that is what we were looking for and what we ultimately found in Het PR Bureau.”

“In de zoektocht naar een bureau dat ons merk in de Benelux kon introduceren, kwamen we na een intensieve oriëntatie bij Het PR Bureau uit. Hun netwerk, ondernemerszin en drive gaven de doorslag. We waren onder de indruk van hun professionaliteit. De strategie van het bureau is dat ze VAPs (Very Adorable People) op cruciale posities aan het werk zetten. Intussen hebben we, sinds de start in 2011, ruim zeven jaar samengewerkt. Ik kan gerust stellen dat Het PR Bureau een belangrijke rol heeft gespeeld in het groot maken van Spotify in de Benelux. "

Especially in a very difficult market such as the insurance industry, in which many interests play a role and which has many limitations, they did very well. I regard Het PR Bureau as a premium agency. With such a partner you can be assured that your campaign will be executed impeccably.”
