With 2 more bronze lions in the categories film and interactive film, we end the week with 3 lions in total. The film lions both go to Telenet, the first for “Evi Naked”, the second for “Extras”, where we show how extras claim to be recognized in the street since the introduction of the sharp image of Telenet Digital tv.

The third bronze was won for a national radio campaign for Bongo giftboxes. In the commercial soap actor Herbert Flack plays the role of himself as an actor you can hire to open your x-mas presents.

Next to this, there were shortlists for De Lijn “nightbuses” in direct, Ché “Blowjob” in media and cyber, Spa “Barfight” in film, MTV “stayingalive.org” and Stallaert “ugliest building” in cyber.

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.”

At the Cannes Advertising Festival, Duval Guillaume has been awarded with a Golden Lion. The prize was handed out in the section ‘mobile phone advertising’ to the campaign ‘A Blind Call’ for the League of the Blind. With over 28.000 entries, the festival is the worlds biggest and most prestigious advertising award show.
Next to this Golden Lion, Duval Guillaume also received three Silver Lions. A Silver for Bazooka in both the Print and Poster section. And a Silver in the category Direct for a direct mailing for Scottex.
