Epica Awards 2019: These Swiss agencies have made it onto the shortlist
It all kicks off in a week: This year's Epica judging begins in Amsterdam. The shortlist has already been announced: Eight Swiss agencies are in the running for the Crystal Pyramids.
22 Swiss entries are in the final for the awards, which will be presented at the Amsterdam Tropical Institute in a week's time on Thursday.
The Geneva-based agency Cavalcade rises after the last year's silver success once again entered the race with a Sept.Info campaign. Heimat Zürich can hope to win twice with the Kieser training campaign "Read Upright". Notch Interactive made it to the final with CKW. Ruf Lanz is on the shortlist nine times. As in the previous year, Serviceplan is also involved in the battle for the pyramids and has four hopes this year. Solid & Hallerfilm is sending an Aldi Suisse campaign into the race. TBWA\Zürich could win another prize with its award-winning Big Mac anniversary campaign. And last but not least, Veeam Software Groupe can also hope to win an Epica pyramid - the company already made it onto the shortlist in Cannes.
Werbewoche.ch will announce next week live from the judging in Amsterdam whether the final places will be converted into awards.
