The ADC Gala is postponed again, to September 5, 2020

ADC Switzerland President Frank Bodin introduced his member orientation by saying, "When the economy has the sniffles, the advertising industry usually struggles. And now it's not a cold, it's Corona."

In the meantime, the ADC board and management have come to the conclusion that holding the gala postponed to May 16 is too risky in view of the situation and forecasts. The ADC Gala will therefore be postponed again, to Saturday, September 5. The tickets remain valid.

 

The ADC office in the home office 

The ADC office is closed since Monday March 16 until further notice and no events will take place. Gioia Bozzato and Hanna Jackl are working from home; the office can also be reached in the home office by mail, phone and video conference.

 

The judging and the deadline for submissions postponed

ADC Switzerland will inform about when and how the judging will take place at a later date. This also applies to the planned Creative Week. A small drop of bitterness for those who missed the submission due to stress: The submission deadline is extended to April 19, 2020 - any physical proofs can be sent to the office after returning from the home office; the works must have been published in 2019 or in January or February 2020.

 

The ADC Young Creatives Award ceremony is cancelled

The Young Creatives Award ceremony unfortunately falls victim to the Corona Virus. The results will be communicated to the participants and the public in the course of the next week. A small consolation for the winners: They will be honored afterwards at the ADC Gala.

 

Closed and yet open

A closed ADC office does not mean that ADC Switzerland is at rest. "On the contrary," emphasizes Frank Bodin, "public life is at a standstill. What is not at a standstill are the creative possibilities to counter this crisis. Despite home offices and virtual communication, we want and need to remain agile and networked. It is precisely in times like these that we can show what Creative Leadership means - ideas and initiatives are welcome."
