Within five years Alex managed to push Serviceplan from nowhere to No. 2 in the German Creative Ranking and No. 2 independent agency worldwide (Cannes 2012).
Alex has won over 35 Cannes Lions and is listed No. 1 CCO worldwide (PIAFYS 2012). He has also won numerous London International Awards statues, as well as, numerous other regional and international awards.
"There are few rational reasons as to what makes a design a good design. So not only the first look at, but every review of the work will demand that the selection of the best be driven by the emotion that the work is consistently able to evoke from deep inside. I am very much looking forward to seeing great work and meeting great people at the LIAs”, stated Alexander.
Barbara Levy, President of LIA, stated “Serviceplan is a multi-award winning independent Agency and Alex is a multi-faceted award winning Creative, as well as, a phenomenal creative leader. Serviceplan’s mission statement reads ‘Serviceplan Design gives brands character – with well thought out corporate designs and matching corporate identity.’ With this mind, LIA is extremely honoured that Alex is lending us his expertise in leading our Design and Package Design Jury.”
