"Advertiser of the Year" docks at "Best of Swiss Web" Award Night
In the future, Werbewoche will present its long-standing and prestigious «Advertiser of the Year» communications award as part of the «Best of Swiss Web» Awards Night. This collaboration reflects the evolution of the communications and advertising industries, where digitalization has long since ceased to be merely a subdiscipline and now permeates every aspect of the field. Creative and digital are converging.
When Swiss web service providers meet with advertising and communications agencies each spring for the "Best of Swiss Web" Award Night, in future the "Egon" will also be on board, the trophy that honors the "Advertiser of the Year". The "Egon" is the only award for a representative and charismatic advertising personality in Switzerland.
Werbewoche, which has been presenting the award since 1977, is responding to the digital transformation in the communications industry: Media users have long given digital channels preference over traditional media. Migrating with them, albeit at a more leisurely pace, is advertising, which nevertheless still has to play on both fields: classic and digital, closely interlinked if possible. More and more young, creative minds are looking for a way into digital and sounding out the new possibilities - and the creative industry still needs lateral-thinking young talent. The teaming up of "Advertiser of the Year" and "Best of Swiss Web" takes these developments into account.
"I am very much looking forward to working with the 'Best of Swiss Web' team," says Werbewoche Editor-in-Chief Anne-Friederike Heinrich. "I'm convinced that together we can create an event that is an integral part of the agenda of communications experts in Switzerland."
The two managing directors of Best of Swiss Web GmbH, Claudio Dionisio and Heinrich Meyer, warmly welcome the "Egon" and the "Advertiser of the Year" jury: "The reputation and attitude behind the award are a perfect fit for 'Best of Swiss Web'. Networking at the Award Night and Jury Day will thus be even more exciting in the future."
Make a note of it now: 18th "Best of Swiss Web" Award Night with presentation of the "Advertiser of the Year" on April 12, 2018 from 5 p.m. at Samsung Hall in Zurich.
