two-time winner
Explanation:
I would translate it as
..two-time winner of the XXXX prize

I think it sounds odd for a company to be called "champion" - seems more appropriate for individuals.

If it were a person you were talking about I would definitely go with Zoe´s answer.
Marlene is usually spot on but in this case you can see that Marlene´s first example is actually about a company named "The Champion Company". And the second one refers to "BI" Champion (BI = Business Intelligence").
Just my take on it. Cheers, Dylan

  -> Thanks Lidia
neutral  jack_speak: I agree with everything you said, Dylan. It is not about a "champion," which is the word used in the field of sports. Your answer is a good option -- either your answer or mine would work pretty nicely.

Two-Time Award Winner


Explanation:
I would have to say that when dealing with advertising agencies, I have always heard them referred to as "winners" of awards (as opposed to "champion"). First time award winner, two-time award winner of XXXX award, etc.

1,320,000 Google hits for "Ad agency two-time award winner".

Hope this helps! :)

neutral  jack_speak: "Bicampeã pelo Prêmio X" -- and, Tonia, you are suggesting "Two-Time Award Winner of the X Award" - it's just too redundant. And it's also not clear how your suggestion of differs materially from Dylan's.
1 hr
  -> Jack_Speak: Thanks for your feedback. I posted my answer because I felt that the other answer didn't specifically convey "award winner" (as in a marketing/advertising agency two-time winner of X award). Just my take on it from a history in PR/Mktg. Tks!

neutral  jack_speak: Paul, that would only be viable if the company received the award **two years in a row** (em anos consecutivos) - but that's not what the original says or even suggests.
