Conference Arena, Marketing Insiders Group member, organized the 12th edition of the “Romanian Contact Center Awards”, the only competition dedicated to the customer care industry in Romania. The award ceremony took place on September 2nd, 2021, in Bucharest.
The global business dynamics and the economic crisis have imposed new working standards, and increasingly agile platforms for the customer care industry in Romania. The pandemic accelerated digitization and led to a redefinition of the Contact Center paradigm. We live in a time when the rankings of leaders in the field are reshaping, a time when adaptability, predictability, and speed of reaction become differentiating factors.
Conference Arena held the “Romanian Contact Center Awards” Gala, on Thursday, September 2nd , 2021, in an exclusive space, full of cultural richness, nobility and history from a building- monument in the centre of Bucharest.
Beyond the long-awaited awards ceremony, the elegant gathering was an opportunity to reconnect with the niche community, a fertile networking setting. Among the various industries that were present were: banking, IT&C, retail, tourism, FMCG, transport, telecom, consultancy, and audit.
The selection process and this year’s awards categories bore the imprint of changes in the corporate world, and the jury consisted of 4 business leaders recognized for outstanding strategies in customer experience and organizational culture: Cătălin Vasile – Consultant, Head of Sales & Customer Experience @Trend Consult, Mădălina Uceanu – Senior HR & Executive Search Consultant, Managing Partner @CareerAdvisor, Mădălina Vilău, CX Advisor, “Romanian Contact Center Awards” Founder, Managing Director @Marketing Insiders Group, and Manfred Stockmann, International CX Leader, Author & Advisor, Owner @ C.M.B.S. Change Management Beratung & Coaching, CEO @Shuhari Gmbh – Institute for Life Balance.
“The Romanian Contact Center Awards is about people and brands who know that leadership is an ongoing process in which innovation and culture go hand in hand. The global context has brought many challenges in the customer experience sector in Romania, and the winners of this year’s Gala have managed to turn them into real opportunities, they took charge and learned from mistakes, and always put people first – customers, partners and colleagues.” – Mădălina Vilău – CX Advisor, “Romanian Contact Center Awards” Founder, Managing Director @Marketing Insiders Group.
