Six Epica successes for Switzerland, four of them for Advico Young & Rubicam
The Swiss national advertising team performed very well at the European Championships in Paris, outshining many larger countries. The Epica Awards are presented by the most important trade journals in our industry from Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
The jury met in Paris from Tuesday to Friday. Six Gold Epica Awards shine in Switzerland's medal table. In the Film category, Spillmann Felser Leo Burnett won one of the glass pyramids with its witty SMS dialogs for Sunrise Communication. Jung von Matt/Limmat won a Film Epica with "Animal Farm", the very considerate animals on the sustainably managed Migros farm on Sunday morning. A Swiss film featuring Barack Obama for the Sonntagszeitung newspaper only just missed out on the final. Instead, Advico Young & Rubicam won an award in the Press category with this same babushka idea. AY&R also won three more Epica awards with the posters for Leica "Sharpest Details" and Zurich Zoo "Elephant House" as well as for "Supreme Security" in the "Business to Business Direct" category. Some of these Swiss submissions only narrowly missed out on a Grand Prix Epica. What was ultimately awarded silver and what was awarded bronze can be submitted on Monday when the calculations are officially evaluated at the Epica office.
