Day of the trade and specialty press: Vinum receives top award

For the third time, awards for outstanding trade and specialty publications were presented on "Trade and Specialty Press Day" on November 14, 2006. This year is characterized by a mixture of internationally established "classics" and clever niche products. The jury, consisting of Pepi Burch, publishing consultant (Zurich), René Grossenbacher, Managing Director of Publicom (Kilchberg), Karl Lüönd, publicist (Räterschen) and Jürg Siegrist, Managing Director of SWA (Zurich), presented awards in five categories and honored the following print media:- "Q-Award for Quality": TOP Finanzkombi (Swiss Bank/Swiss Insurance/Private Banking)
- "Q-Award for Design": KMU-Magazin
- "Q-Award for market presence": auto&technik
- "Q-Award for Innovation": HOMEelectronic
- "Top Award": Vinum
The background to this award is the permanent quality offensive in favor of the print media that the Swiss Press Association is conducting. In a country with a sometimes small market size and correspondingly tight budgets, high demands are placed on diligence both on the editorial and publishing side. In the same spirit, the Publishers Association has been awarding the Q seal of quality for some time now. According to a press release, this seal of quality is awarded to those who prove their focus on content, editorial performance and credibility as well as transparent business conditions in a selection process.
