Newborn Kosova

Ogilvy Kosova has been shortlisted in the 49th Annual Clio Award Festival, the world leading awarding body for advertising, design and interactive. NEWBORN is in the short list of contenders in Design Category. (www.clioawards.com)

Every year, over 30 000 best adverts, campaigns, designs and websites compete for a Clio, and only a handful receives one.

It is said that “What Oscar is to movies and Grammy is to music, Clio is to advertising”. It is a great honour for us to reach this far.

Some of our team members will attend the Clio Festival in South Beach, FL, on 14-17 May, hoping to come back with a gleaming Clio statue.

Keep your fingers crossed, root and cheer for NEWBORN’s latest international success.

FLORIDA, HERE WE COME!!!

NEWBORN is a monument marking the Kosova Declaration of Independence Day, 17 February 2008.

Made of steel, weighing about 9 tonnes, NEWBORN is 3m high, 22m long and 1m thick.

First to put their signatures into NEWBORN in black permanent markers were Kosovar President, Fatmir Sejdiu, and Prime-Minister, Hashim Thaçi, at 18:30 (GMT+1), 17 Feb 2008, followed by thousands of other people celebrating on the day, until 24:00.

NEWBORN has become a historical symbol and is now under the protection of the Government of Kosova.

It took 10 days for the creators, Ogilvy Kosova, to give birth to NEWBORN, from idea to final product.

NEWBORN has become the shrine for the team who created it. Every one of us has to see it at least once a day in order to recharge ourselves with that feeling of peace, excitement, love and pride all intertwined in one.
