IMCC Chairman, Ondrej Gottwald, said, “I am really grateful for the agencies’ high interest in the IMC European Awards and the high number of entries during my chairmanship. I am delighted that our industry is doing well across Europe. Beside the commercial campaigns, I highly value campaigns with positive social impact. I really like to see that these campaigns are recognised and rewarded by industry professionals.”    

The winning agencies were selected after two rounds of judging in a European competition of the best campaigns selected at the national level across Europe. The first round selection was made by a jury panel made up of 45 leading industry professionals across Europe. The second round jury, comprised of IMCC Council member representatives, took place in Naples on 23 September.
