testament to the collaborative relationship we have with our clients. We have
pushed boundaries as a creative agency and our clients have taken the brave
step to go with us. The results speak for themselves. We're delighted with
the nominations and look forward to the awards announcement in December”
The first round selection for the IMC European awards were made
by a jury panel consisting of 45 leading industry professionals across the
continent. The second round of judging, comprised of IMCC Council member
representatives and took place in Naples on 23rd September. This
year’s winners will be announced in December.
According to IMC European Awards Chair, Renate Vogt, “The jury has had a tough job judging more than 100 cases of the best work from all member countries. The quality overall was very good with some completely different cases in the categories. We have seen extremely creative cases for retail and automotive which were clearly different from the usual ones and some cases based on an extremely good strategy and excellent execution in all categories. Some cases, however, missed solid results in relation to the objectives.”
