Cannes 2011: Swiss jury members nominated
At the end of June 2011, Lions will once again be up for grabs in Cannes. Switzerland has nominated nine jury members for the upcoming creative festival.
The submissions are reviewed by a jury consisting of experts from the international advertising industry. The number of jury members a country may nominate depends on the number of Lions won in previous years. For 2011, Switzerland can nominate three jury members in each of the three categories "Media", "Promo & Activation" and "Direct". The organizers of the "International Festival of Creativity" and the jury presidents of the respective categories decide which of the nominees may sit on the jury.
The nominees were:
- Barbara Dürst, Managing Director Ogilvy One AG
- Axel Eckstein, Creative Director EuroRSCG
- Roman Hirsbrunner, CEO Maxomedia
- Dominik Oberwiler, Executive Creative Director Advico Y&R
- Markus Ruf, Creative Director Ruf Lanz Werbeagentur AG
- Alex Schmid, Managing Director Alex Schmid AG
- Philipp Skrabal, Executive Creative Director Wirz Advertising
- Martin Spillmann, Executive Creative Director Spillmann/Felser/Leo Burnett
- Dominique von Matt, CEO Jung von Matt/Limmat
The next "International Festival of Creativity" will take place from June 19 to 25, 2011 in the southern French coastal town of Cannes.
