Success for Walker in New York and Lausanne
The Zurich-based agency Walker has reason to celebrate successes on both sides of the Atlantic: The agency won three awards each at the New York Festivals and the Grand Prix Romand de la Création, the advertising award for French-speaking Switzerland.
The Zurich agency Walker can celebrate successes on both sides of the pond: at the New York Festivals, the "smallest advertising agency in the world" won gold, silver and bronze for its work for Fleurop. The gold medal for the best TV commercial series of the year went to the series "Hunt for Words" featuring men helplessly searching for words who would probably be better off giving flowers. The movie spot "Wedding Day", directed by Anthony Minghella, won two awards: There was a Silver World Medal for the spot, alongside Brit Anna Massey receiving Bronze for her acting performance.Walker is also reaping domestic laurels, however: The agency picked up three of the eight Grand Prix at the Grand Prix Romand de la Création advertising prize in French-speaking Switzerland, which was awarded on May 31.
