two-time winner
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

Two-time recipient
Usually we use the word "recipient" about a company or a person who receives an award.

: Jack, this is exactly right...it's referring to the company as a recipient of an award...the only possible interpretation here.

Two-Time Award Winner
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".
http://www.google.com.br/search?hl=pt-BR&q=ad agency two tim...
Hope this helps! :)

: "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.

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!

A suggestion.

: 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.
