To the point: We congratulate
This is the 33rd time that Werbewoche has presented its "Advertiser of the Year" award. It was voted for by the subscribers of Werbewoche. Six personalities from the Swiss advertising scene were nominated. In contrast to last year, neither a woman nor a representative from French-speaking Switzerland made it among the nominees this year.
This is the 33rd time that Werbewoche has presented its "Advertiser of the Year" award. It was voted for by the subscribers of Werbewoche. Six personalities from the Swiss advertising scene were nominated, selected by a prominent voting panel consisting of former male and female advertisers of the year. In contrast to last year, neither a woman nor a representative from French-speaking Switzerland made it among the nominees this year. A pity.
The Advertiser of the Year 2009 is Frank Bodin. He has already been nominated nine times, but so far it has never been enough to win. This year, Bodin was able to accept the trophy named Egon, designed by Swiss artist Max Grüter, at Zurich's Kaufleuten. The CEO of Euro RSCG received 21 percent of the votes. To date, Bodin has won more than 500 awards from virtually all festivals, he has been a jury member from Cannes to Clio, and in 2004 he was president of the Golden Drum. As president of BSW Swiss Leading Agencies, he is committed to our industry.
Just behind with 20 percent of the vote, Daniel Krieg landed in an honorable but ungrateful second place. Krieg is co-owner of Krieg Schlupp Bürge/Springer & Jacoby. Founded in 2004, the agency now employs more than 50 people and repeatedly attracts attention with its creative and intelligent advertising. Krieg studied at the University of St. Gallen. Before founding the agency, he worked not only as a copywriter and concept developer at various agencies, but also in investment banking, the consumer goods industry and publishing.
With 15 percent of the votes, Alexander Jaggy made it to third place. The Executive Creative Director of Jung von Matt/Limmat is not nominated for the first time either. Since 2004, he has led the creative work of the Zurich agency, which was recently voted "most popular advertising agency" in a survey by Handelszeitung.
For the tenth time, a broad audience jury presents the "Campaign of the Year" award. Twelve important works from twelve agencies were up for selection. In addition to the readership of Werbewoche, readers of the program guide Tele also took part in the voting. The choice was clear. Humor is the trump card: With 42 percent of all votes, they chose Suva's campaign as the winner. It was conceived and realized by the Ruf Lanz advertising agency.
In second place with eleven percent of the vote was the campaign for the Sonntagszeitung Sunday newspaper by advertising agency Wirz. With ten percent, Spillmann Felser Leo Burnett made it to third place with the campaign for Floralp.
