Stanislav strikes again! This time it won two Silver SpinAwards, one in the Media category and one in the Best Online Campagne category.

The jury noted:
"The Stanislav campaign genuinely deserves a Silver SpinAward with big golden ornaments. It was truly a close call (photo finish was needed) with the winner of the golden SpinAward. Kong managed to develop a creative strategy that was really spot-on to learn a young and difficult target audience to be cautious with personal data on the internet, without communicating like a school teacher. Thumbs up for the breath taking creative and technical execution of the concept. An excellent example of a successful creative campaign with real impact and great results."
