Award-CC goes to Eclat/Rod for SBB and Swisslife

The 2014 Award-CC winners have been announced: The integrated communications projects by Eclat/Rod Kommunikation for SBB and Swiss Life were honored by the expert jury on September 11, 2014.

In keeping with the 10th anniversary, the creator of the trophy - Pedro Pedrazzini from Ticino - was present, while the prize sponsor news aktuell presented the coveted "Communicators" trophies to the winners.

This year's Corporate Communications Award honors the projects "Eclat/Rod Kommunikation - Integrated Communication SBB" and "Swiss Life Zurich - Transformation Communication in Three Acts" as outstanding examples of both networked and powerful corporate communications. The SBB campaign stands out, among other things, for its consistent but also highly creative networking of corporate communications forms, media and messages. Swiss Life's project is characterized by its pronounced dialog orientation, which led to relying on the communication potential of the participants and insights from other disciplines such as mediation.

Young musician Julian Pollina, alias Faber, enchanted the audience with his song "Award-CC," composed especially for the 10th anniversary and based on its original title "Bleib dir nicht treu."
