Art Directors Club New York awards Best of Discipline to Untouched by Light

ADC 100th Annual Awards is the longest running international competition in advertising and design, known for its cube shaped awards. After long sessions of consultations, the jury composed of top worldwide creatives reached their decision: Untouched by Light by Croatian Bruketa&Žinić&Grey Agency and Slovenian winery Radgonske Gorice is the winning project in Best of Discipline for Packaging Design.

Instead of an advertising campaign, B&Ž&G Agency suggested a new product – a sparkling wine produced in complete darkness. The entire project rests upon a research study by Prof. Nobel, University of California, who proved that light has adverse effect on sparkling wines and their aromas. In keeping with this fact and as suggested by the Agency, Radgonske Gorice adapted their production process which is now carried out in pitch darkness, from harvest to distribution, using night vision goggles. The bottle packaging is also one-of-a-kind, designed to be light-proof.

The ADC judges decided to award the very idea and design. The idea has already received great acclaim. It has been covered by the media worldwide, such as The Washington Post, The Independent, Forbes, Der Spiegel, Decanter and Wine China, in more than 230 mentions, kindling the interest of distributors not only in this product but also in other products by Radgonske Gorice.

“This project shows that local businesses can successfully turn to the global market. The creative potential of agencies can be used for much more than just an ad creation. Original products and services find easier way to reach their customer,” said Davor Bruketa, Chief Creative Officer at Bruketa&Žinić&Grey Agency, which has received the fourth award from ADC Annual Awards and has become the most award-winning Croatian agency in this competition and the only one to have earned the Best of Discipline title.
