Jean-Remy von Matt, Founder and Chairman of Jung von Matt AG
 

 

London - 4th August 2005 - The organisers of the Eurobest Awards announced on that day that Jean-Remy von Matt, Founder and Chairman of Jung von Matt would head that year's Jury.

He usually leaves the cinema and theatre before the show ends. Books don't captivate him. He leafs quickly through magazines. He zaps through TV programmes in seconds. Things that don't get straight to the point bore him. Jean-Remy von Matt (53), Germany's most creative advertising specialist, turned the Mini ("Is it love?") into an object of desire, and with the claim "Geiz ist geil" (roughly translated as "being tight is cool") instigated a whole public debate.

C"We are delighted to have such a great creative mind as Jean-Remy von Matt, whose ideas are much respected, to head this year's Eurobest jury", commented Terry Savage, Executive Chairman.

The Jung von Matt agency, founded by Jean-Remy and his lawyer partner Holger Jung in Hamburg in 1991 is now Germany's largest independent agency and was recently voted creative "number one" by the German business magazine "Handelsblatt".

The agency has won numerous awards including Epica, Eurobest and Cannes Lions trophies. But behind such success lies much hard work. "Quality, is the result of an ordeal," says von Matt, who since 2002 is a teaching professor at the University of Wismar. He is marvelled at for his ideas and dreaded for his merciless demand for perfection.

Commenting on his appointment as Jury President, Jean-Remy said:

"In these tough times, when great work is doubtlessly created, but not supported by the usual budgets, a competition like Eurobest has an additional function: to spread hope for better times. I am proud to contribute my part."
