Our Manifesto

This is Panama.
Empowering Businesses.
Navigating Brands.

This is Panama. Sailing overseas, crossing bridges, travelling beyond infinity. Exploring the wildest waters to operate in, but throwing in a message to leave a unexpected splash. A message that matters, one that keeps hanging, floating in people’s minds.

 

This is Panama. A strong business prepared for everything and anything. Ready for action. To bring your business alive, to move your brand forward. To get it the closest it will ever get to your target group. Panama matches specialists in events, branding, sales, marketing and logistics. Together on one ship, handling all your challenges.

 

This is Panama. Born to be ambitious, alive by passion, inexhaustible driven by creativity. Professional and thoughtful. We are a true partner, stowed by challenging cases.

 

Panama’s sailing through your (international) waters too. We travel in the world of your business and brands, to empower, to navigate it the way it has to.

Over 20 years experience!

Panama is a strong and durable vessel with over 20 years of valuable experience!

 

Over the course of more than two decades, Panama evolved into a real expert in servicing Sales- and Marketing-teams.

Today, Panama is the only resource and partner you need when forming strong Sales forces, creating impactful Brand Activations, planning memorable Events and providing proper Logistics.

 

2002 Sales & marketing services like Sales Outsourcing, merchandising and recruitment of salespeople

Panama started out as an importer and distributor of fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG), while sharing resources with other, non-competing players. Over time, Panama grew into an HR partner for numerous multinationals, providing them with the right crew.

2009 Introducing Brand Activations & sampling

A whole new branch was introduced with a different set of activities, such as in- and out-of-store animations, tastings, sampling activities and even the recruitment of brand ambassadors.

2011 New marketing logistics with the development of a warehouse, tailored IT and WMS

With increased and optimal in- and out-of-store visibility comes the need for better logistics services. From storage and transportation to placement, your marketing material is safe in our Panamese hands.

2012 Creating a new category of brand experiences with Event Planning

Event Planning addresses a new and important customer need. From campaign design to business Events, Panama relies on trusted event agency 24Seven – an agency we later integrated into our Panamese family.

2014 Expanding our logistical structure for Events and brands

Building upon the existing warehouse infrastructure, we added Event Logistics and Brand Logistics to the mix.

2018 UWORX staffing agency comes into play

The start of our own staffing agency meant we were now able to provide our clients with the best of the best in retail, out-of-home, hospitality, or night shops.

2022 We celebrate 20 years of Panama!

Our Panama values

Ambitious

We always look for opportunities. Opportunities to build our own business and those of others, to work better and more efficiently, and to serve our clients and partners.

Feet in
the street

We are hands-on and ready for action. Every person at Panama is valued as a critical thinker on their own and makes things move forward. We are doers! There’s no time to waste!

Passionate

We are passionate about brands. They are our raison d’être. In return, we are flexible 24/7 and work hard for them. Our preference is for long-term working relationships. You'll appreciate our loyalty.

Human & open

Working with and for Panama is uplifting! We want to be an inspiring place to work, where everyone can develop their talents. We want to be open, approachable, and great to work with – ending a successful collaboration over drinks with our clients makes our day.

Creative

We are creative in finding solutions for our clients and in building experiences for the brands we work for. Through our creativity, we inject a touch of joy and playfulness, however serious the subject matter.

Why are we called Panama?

From the
Panama Canal!

Sailing through a canal is the shortest and most efficient way to get from one world to another. But to reach the desired destination, it takes more than just a ship. The crew onboard must work together by using their expertise and knowledge, supreme coordination, and strong determination.

The Panama Canal is the only canal in the world where others take over the captain’s wheel and guide the ship and its crew towards the desired destination. As a smart partner by excellence, Panama steers our clients’ Marketing, Sales, and Logistics.

Sustainability & corporate social responsability

Sustainable entrepreneurship with a human-centered approach lies at the base of our company and service.

Obtaining the ECOVADIS-label and signing the Sustainable Logistics-charter are just two examples of our commitment in reducing our own ecological footprint.

Panama makes sustainable growth a priority by making social, societal, and environmental challenges a vital part of our business operations.
