Last Tuesday, the German Business Film Award was presented for the 51st time at Cinema International in Berlin.
From 230 submissions, 10 works in a total of 5 categories were nominated. In the category “Economy well presented”, the DATEV image film convinced the 15-member jury and managed to assert oneself against the submission of other global players such as the Siemens AG.
“To present a rather dry topic, such as the tax advice, in only 1:29 minutes and thereby also in such a fun way … would be worthy a prize” said Oliver Wittke, Parliamentary State Secretary at the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy. DATEV eG, agency Publicis Erlangen, 27 km Entertainment GmbH and GROVES Sound Branding GmbH are very happy about the associated appreciation of the work.
In addition to the media success of around 170,000 views on YouTube and LinkedIn, the campaign had a few other special features in store. The brand-name DATEV Sound logo is cited 5 times in the music specially produced by GROVES for the film, while the off-spokesman has to perform at an average of 2 words per second. Incidentally, the one and a half minute film was created from just 7.4 seconds of new material.
