New and proven at the Werbewoche advertiser of the year
Even the established sometimes needs revision. We have modernized the judging process for the Werbewoche Advertiser of the Year, which has been awarded since 1977, and reorganized the jury.
In the future, not all former Werbewoche advertisers of the year will be invited to submit proposals for the next award winner, but only the last eight. In addition, each year the jury and Werbewoche will select four young minds in the industry who have already attracted attention for their outstanding creative achievements. They serve on the jury for one year. In 2016, these are Dominique Magnusson, Sandy Pfuhl, Christian Etter and Kevin Zysset.
As the nomination of the Advertising Week Advertiser of the Year 2016 will take place during the "Advertising Day" on May 27 in Lausanne, we have additionally invited two representatives of French-speaking Switzerland to join the jury, Valérie Pecalvel and Gabriel Mauron. So we have concentrated creative power together to find a worthy Advertising Week Advertiser of the Year 2016.
The laudatory speech for the new award winner will be given by last year's Advertising Week Advertiser of the Year at the ceremony announcing the winner. The 2016 winner will therefore be chosen by Curdin Janett.
Subscribers on board
Of course, our subscribers also still have the opportunity to cast their vote. With the publication of Werbewoche 6/2016 and on Werbewoche.ch from March 29, we will ask you to submit suggestions for this year's award winner. In Werbewoche 8/2016 and on Werbewoche.ch from May 9, we will present the three creatives nominated for the award and you will finally be able to vote for your favorite between midnight on Monday, May 9, and 12 noon on Tuesday, May 10. The jury will then decide on May 10 who may bear the title of Advertising Week Advertiser of the Year 2016.
