Switzerland Tourism receives ad campaign award.


Switzerland Tourism wins 4th Annual Images in Advertising Award for their “Outstanding LGBT Travel Campaign” 2008. The awards were given away by Commercial Closet Association in New York on July 28, 2008.

The 4th Annual Images in Advertising Awards were given away by Commercial Closet Association (CCA) in New York on Monday, July 29, 2008. CCA advocates for advertising that respects the diversity of all, specifically gender identity/expression and sexual orientation, for success in business and a safer LGBT society.

Winners were nominated and awarded in 9 different categories for outstanding LGBT advertising campaigns in either TV, online or print. Switzerland Tourism won in the category "Outstanding Travel Campaign LGBT Market" over destinations such as Canada, Las Vegas or San Francisco. The two ads that Switzerland Tourism was awarded for show the front covers of the Gay & Lesbian brochures of the last two years. Both ads were created in-house by Switzerland Tourism (see second page for the visuals).

Switzerland Tourism has been marketing the LGBT community for the last 8 years with activities in both North America and the United Kingdom and is very pleased with this latest recognition of its work.

Switzerland Tourism supports the LGBT community with charity events, as most recently at the CCA award gala with the sponsorship of a free trip to Switzerland as a live auction item.
