New members for ADC
In its 40th year of existence, the Art Directors Club Switzerland has accepted six new members.
Marcin Baba, Creative Director, FCB Zurich
Julia Brandstätter, Copywriter, Advico Y&R
Alain Eicher, Copywriter, Jung von Matt/Limmat
Wim Roelfs, Digital Creative Director, Publicis Communications
Sören Schröder, Creative Director Text, FCB Zurich
Grit Wolany, Concept & Art Direction, Ratatat
"The number of applications received this year was lower than usual, but the standard of the work was higher," says Alexander Jaggy, member of the board and responsible for the membership department. The slight decline in the number of applications can be attributed to the new, stricter admission criteria, says Jaggy. "Ten award-winning works in the last five years - you have to achieve that first. That attracts only the best, and that's a good thing."
With the candidates admitted, a promising trend for ADC Switzerland is apparent: more international, more female and more digital.
The Admissions Committee was composed of members from the ADC Board and five elected active members: Frank Bodin, Philipp Skrabal, Peter Brönnimann, Dennis Lück, Thomas Wildberger, Markus Gut, Alexander Jaggy, Raul Serrat, Bruno Manser, Jonathan Heyer, René Sennhauser and Fernando Perez.
ADC Switzerland is the association of the leading creative professionals in the communications industry. It aims to improve the quality of creative communication by judging and publishing it annually. ADC Switzerland was founded in 1976 and currently has around 140 members.
