JvM lonely at the top

Awards The Jung von Matt agency group came out on top in the German Art Directors Club's creative competition, scoring a total of 119 points - twice as many as second-placed Springer & Jacoby. The Zurich branch also contributed to the success. Its campaign for Bank Julius Baer won silver for text and bronze for daily newspaper ads, making JvM/Limmat the most successful Swiss agency at the German ADC, ahead of Spillmann Felser Leo Burnett (bronze for the Alpenarena). However, it was not advertisers who won the most ADC nails for Switzerland, but the culture magazine "Du": a gold nail in the magazine title category as well as gold and bronze for magazine design. And the former "Du" designers Wendelin Hess and Beat Müller struck again: with the "Extrablatt" for the Weltwoche anniversary, they won another bronze nail. ADC Germany received over 7000 entries for this year's judging, of which it awarded 11 gold, 48 silver and 88 bronze medals.
