Owner Joachim Hellinger is no stranger to us either, as he is married to a Swiss woman, spends his winters in Klosters and also counts several CH agencies among his clients.Werbewoche was the first non-Helliventure representative on the jetty, but the early-bird cuckoo clock cannot be won by journalists. Too bad, because "Bringing the Kookoo back home" would have been a nice headline. However, since shortlist author Fritsch didn't get up that early, but didn't go to bed at all that night, that's fine. In other sports, such behavior would be considered a punishable early start, if not doping (residual alcohol). All the more reason to be pleased about the Hang-over prize with the Swiss cross. The box contained a head bag, rarely found today, which can be filled with hot or cold water or ice, depending on the condition, and placed on the buzzing skull. Well done, dear Helliventure team.text & photos: Beat Fritsch
