Pius Walker
Nominated for the 2008 Advertiser of the Year.
Pius Walker has achieved great things this year with his "smallest advertising agency in the world". He has moved up to 1st place in the creative ranking of Werbewoche. In the international ranking, which the Gunn Report calculates from all the world's most important creative awards, Walker Werbung is ranked 39th out of all the world's agencies. This was made possible above all thanks to Walker's ideas for Amnesty International. The campaign with the claim "It's not happening here. But now." is also one of the 10 most awarded "print ads and campaigns in the world 2007" with rank 9. Two gold and one silver lion in Cannes as well as the title "third best media agency in the world" contributed to this. The second campaign for which Walker spends many gala evenings at festivals is Fleurop, including seven shortlist places in the top film category in Cannes. Walker was also a big winner at the ADC, where he won four out of seven gold cubes. Walker can announce Rega as a new budget in 2007. Walker also won Max Havelaar. With the "Newsweek" campaign for Maxiprint, Walker printed the night's headlines on posters early in the morning for a week and wittily proved that "no one prints faster." The Walker agency was founded in 2003. Pius Walker started out in advertising with an apprenticeship as a graphic designer at AY&R. He worked at GGK in Zurich and later at Springer & Jacoby and Jung von Matt in Hamburg, Legas Delaney in London and as CD and Managing Director at Scholz & Friends Berlin.
