Advertising Yearbook: Rod is Swiss Newcomer of the Year
The winners of the "Jahrbuch der Werbung" competition have been announced. The young creatives from Rod are Switzerland's Newcomers of the Year.
Every year, the advertising yearbook published by the German publishing house Econ selects the best agencies and newcomers of the year alongside the best campaigns. The Zurich agency Rod will be represented in the upcoming edition as Newcomer of the Year. The jury of the advertising yearbook came to the unanimous conclusion that Rod deserves the title of Newcomer of the Year due to the quality of its creative work and its entrepreneurial success.
The name Rod is made up of the first names of the founders Regula Fecker, Oliver Fennel and David Schärer. Rod was founded in July 2007. Today, 12 people already work at the agency. Rod's board of directors is illustrious and includes former MTV boss Catherine Mühlemann. After Ikea, Knorr, Sanitas, 20 Minuten and Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders, Switzerland's largest meat producer, Bell, has also recently started relying on the Zurich-based advertising agency. More on this in a large portrait in the next print edition.
At the end of 2008, a jury also selected the best 40 entries from over 1000 submissions. These will now be awarded the silver megaphone or as sector or industry winners.
