20th International Eyes & Ears Awards

23.10. / München

Best station spot


1. Prize

INFOSPORT+

With humour and irony, the INFOSPORT+ channel spot undermines viewers' expectations by playing different sports with the wrong balls: Golf with a basketball, rugby with a ping-pong ball and football with a bowling ball! The irritation quickly turns into a smile and the channel wins the sympathies of the audience with the sophisticated and poignant spot!

Hochspannung Made by SAT.1

To introduce the label 'HIGH TENSION MADE BY SAT.1', the station effectively focuses on reduction - no off-text, no original sounds, no music in the conventional sense. The excerpts from the film adaptations of the bestsellers are only driven and held together by the heartbeat of the typewriter. The result is a spot that generates suspense and at the same time leaves you wanting more!

CANAL+: PSG-Marseille – It's going to hurt

'Le Classique' is the name given to the duel between Paris St. Germain and Olympique Marseille. In order to illustrate the explosive nature of the game, CANAL+ has opted for a humorous and quirky clip, in which fans stab the players of the opposing team, who are in the form of Voodoo dolls, with needles. This has an effect on the football game itself and so CANAL+ not only provides a witty explanation for the missed shots, but also lets the fans become protagonists of the game!

RTL: Sankt Maik 

In the RTL series 'Sankt Maik', a petty criminal becomes a parish priest against his will.

Comedy Central: Wir machen's lustig

Comedy Central's new campaign shows us that comedy can be in almost anything – even in negative terms! To do this, the station uses various words such as "right-wing populism" and "dictator" and subjects them to a "comedy treatment". Minimal changes, such as switching letters, lead to word plays that are also presented typographically and on a sound level. A humorous campaign that shows that comedy is the heart of the station!

RTL: Sankt Maik 

At the centre of the RTL series 'Sankt Maik' is the conflict of the protagonist: a petty criminal pretending to be a priest.

The spots leave you wanting more and thus it is no surprise that 'Sankt Maik' was the most successful RTL series start in 2018.

RTL: Der Bachelor

"Caution! Hunting season!" – the hunting motive runs through the campaign for the new season of 'The Bachelor'. The candidates run through the woods to hunt down their dream man. Black, white and red dominate the colour imaging and, in combination with the set design, lend the ensemble a dreamlike and enchanted aesthetic as well as a dangerous atmosphere. You can feel it here: the hunt for great love, where different laws apply!

ARTE: Summer of Fish & Chips 

In its special 'Summer of Fish & Chips' ARTE honours Great Britain as "the motherland of pop culture". But how do you create a graphic design dedicated to Great Britain that also addresses the Brexit? The culture channel finds a brilliant and ingenious solution: the Union Jack is deconstructed and playfully reassembled in various ways. And as a testimonial to the campaign, Sex Pistols singer Johnny Rotten is presented. Great idea, adapted to the theme!

RTL: Der Bachelor  

In order to promote the new season of 'The Bachelor', RTL produced a campaign in which the individual image sections look like magical and eerie paintings. The paper-cut look as well as the colour reduction to black, white and red support the unreal and exciting atmosphere. The individual candidates are staged alternately as distinct personalities and as a hunting group. Great direction!

The Screeners: 1000 Arten, Regen zu beschreiben

A boy withdraws completely from life and throws his family into great despair. This is the plot of the film '1000 ways to describe rain'.

A trailer that will not let you go for a long time, especially because of the atmospheric use of music!

SRF: Tag der Gebärdensprache 

The initial irritation caused by the soundless spot lends attention to the subject in a unique way. Fittingly, the SRF produced the spot for the 'Day of sign language' in sign language itself. The harmony of content and form leads to a unique feature, that is especially effective by the reduction to the visual image.
