The company achieved the highest accolades in two categories: “Best of

The commercial “barfight” for Spa Barisart won this year’s grand prix at the Kinsale shark awards. It was the only grand prix allotted in tv. The commercial, which was shot completely under water, also got a golden shark in the category non alcoholic drinks.

And there were more reasons to celebrate. De Lijn “Pinguins” was awarded a silver shark for best animation, Tabasco “Streaker” got shortlisted.

A very sparkling result calling for something very sparkling to drink.

Yesterday, on the closing night of the Cannes Festival, a bronze lion was given to the tv-campaign for the National Milk Board (VLAM).  The campaign consists of two commercials : Milk “Jumpers” and Milk “Freestyler”.

Awaiting the first official Cannes results, here is the final score for the New York Festivals. In total we won 2 Gold World Medals, 1 Silver and 3 Bronze.

Gold is for the ad “Save 8 lives” for Re-born to be Alive, both in print and in best use of media. Silver goes to the print campaign for Lazer Helmets. The Bronze awards are for De Lijn “Penguins” in best TV-animation, Komatsu in Direct and again Re-born for the print ad “Motorcyclist”.

With 10 shortlisted campaigns, we hoped we would win at least one Clio Award during the Grand Gala in Las Vegas. In the end, we got 4 Clio Awards.

In Direct there was one silver for Komatsu with the campaign “Xtreme precision”. In the same category there was also a bronze for the business cards of public bus company De Lijn. The same campaign was also awarded a bronze in Design. Finally, the ad “Save 8 lives” for Reborn to be Alive won a third bronze in the print category.

From now on we think of Las Vegas as a place where you can lose your money but where you can win awards.

In the new edition of The Gunn Report, Duval Guillaume is ranked 27th in the list of the world’s most awarded agencies. In this world ranking, which can be compared with the ATP in tennis, Duval Guillaume is in the good company of Wieden+Kennedy Portland and 180 Amsterdam. Duval Guillaume is the only Belgian agency in the top 50.

“A Blind Call” in top 10 most awarded campaigns worldwide

The good ranking is largely the success of the campaign “A Blind Call” for the League of the Blind. Among other festivals, it was awarded at the three biggest award shows. It received a golden pencil at The One Show, a gold lion in Cannes, topping with a Grand Clio.

This got “A Blind Call” on the 7th place of most awarded campaigns in “All Gunns Blazing”, a category especially made for innovative ideas and campaigns. It’s in the nice company of “HBO Voyeur” by BBDO New York and “Whopper freakout” by Crispin Porter+Bogusky. The campaign “A Blind Call” is described as being “intelligent and directly inspired by real life.”

What do kitchen roll, industrial equipment and being dead have in common?
Not much. Except they’ve all had award-winning work made for them by Duval
Guillaume. The Eurobest jury gave Reborn to be Alive Bronze in Print, and
handed Scottex and Komatsu Bronze and Gold respectively in Direct. In
total, we were nominated 14 times for 11 different clients (the three above,
plus Axa, Dexia, Flair, Green Belgium, Lazer Helmets, Mediamarkt, Nikon and
Sporza). No other Belgian agency managed to get work recognised for so many
different clients.
