In 2020, WeAreBrain published the book, "Working Machines – An Executive’s Guide to AI and Intelligent Automation", co-authored by Mario Grunitz, Paula Ferrai and Samantha Wolhuter, which became a key resource for businesses adopting AI. The company also won the Corporate Excellence Award that year. In 2020, WeAreBrain received a nomination for the Awwwards with Beautiful News in the Website category.
