We present all three nominees in detail:
In a little more than two months, the second year marked by Covid-19 will come to an end. After we had to postpone last year's award, then still connected to the "Best of Swiss Web" award night, to the end of October due to a pandemic, this year's "Werber:in des Jahres" award will take place as an independent event: On November 30, the m&k and Advertisingweek.ch and select the "Advertiser of the Year" in an intimate setting on Lake Zurich.
In 2020, just before the pandemic hit, the expert jury was able to determine the nominees in a live workshop. This year, the judging took place completely "remotely". However, this did not detract from a fruitful, lively discussion. As a result, three people were nominated who represent the broad spectrum of the industry and do justice to its diversity today. Because what has become clear in the meantime is that "the" typical advertiser or "the" classic advertiser no longer exists.
Andrea Bison was chosen among the nominees for the second time in a row after 2020: The expert jury agreed that the co-founder of Thjnk Zurich - together with partner Alexander Jaggy - has achieved an enormous amount. Started from scratch, the agency has developed into a relevant, successful player in the Swiss creative landscape within just a few years.
Another nomination that is clear to the jury is David Schärer, founding partner of Rod Kommunikation. The agency has had its hands full with communications for the Federal Office of Public Health over the past year and a half. Schärer should have received a nomination as early as 2020 for the implementation of the prevention, solidarity and vaccination campaigns around the coronavirus. But since the jury had already met before the pandemic, the Rod partner has now earned a permanent place among the nominees.
2016 has Maurizio Rugghia founded Sir Mary together with Florian Beck and Daniel Zuberbühler. An agency that breaks with old structures and is always looking for new challenges. Recently, the agency celebrated its fifth anniversary - and looks back on turbulent years that were also marked by success. After Daniel Zuberbühler narrowly failed to claim the title of "Advertiser of the Year", Rugghia is now in the running for an "Egon".
