12.02.2009, at its annual awards ceremony, Latvia’s leading morning newspaper, DIENA celebrated the biggest advertisers and the best advertising results.

History repeated itself, because this year DDB was also nominated twice. MAXIMA’s series of ads starring Centis Ūbelis received the Grand Prix Gold cm2 having been judged to be the best advertising campaign to appear in DIENA newspapers during the course of the year. Prominent among the nominations in the category celebrating the best press ad of the second half of the year was the AUDI ad created by DDB, “Thanks to the Crisis!”

This news is an even greater source of pleasure for us, because both of the ads which received awards were both creatively memorable and also helped to deliver terrific business results. In this combination, these achievements represent the highest possible honour!
