Four awards for Romanian teams at AdPrint 2008

The European Creative Teams Festival AdPrint 2008 was held this year in Brasov (central Romania). Although the Spanish advertising agencies dominated the competition, the Romanian teams succeeded in getting four prizes.

The Romanian teams won prizes through the agencies Grafitti BBDO, Grey Bucharest and Saatchi&Saatchi. Having ranked 5th in the general ranking of the participating agencies, Grafitti BBDO won two awards, one for the History in Brief campaign (works such as 'Iwo Jima' 'Kennedy' and 'Tien an Men'), in the Media category, with the 2nd award being for the Mountain Dew - Urbanized Culture campaign (works such as 'Munch,' 'Picasso' and 'Van Gogh') in the beverages Non-Alcoholics category. The other winning Romanian agencies were Grey Bucharest and Saatchi&Saatchi. The first was rewarded for the 'Drop' work referring to the fairy products, in the Home Maintenance category. Saatchi&Saatchi was awarded for the '1961 Boy,' '1961 Man' and '1961 Woman' campaigns for the Head&Shoulders, in the Cosmetics/Toiletries category. Christian Himmelspach, Creative Director of the German agency Jung von Matt, the director of the Jury at AdPrint, appreciated that generally the participating teams, both the Romanian and foreign there were of the same good value. 'The Romanian teams are not different from those in the rest of Europe: Romania has very good ideas and very strong,' Himmelspach said, referring to the 'Urbanized Culture' campaign. Moreover, he appreciated that, although AdPrint brings nothing new on the map of the European festivals, for many Western creators who are used to such festivals in New York, AdPrint did bring something new/drawn attention something happens in the East too. There were 170 teams registered in the competition at the Festival in Brasov, among which 115 teams from abroad, with the others 55 representing 23 Romanian advertising agencies. There were works registered in 32 categories, for 15 of them existing also nominations, but not all of them recorded winners. Sursa: http://www.rompress.ro
