Sonova triple win at Cannes Corporate Media & TV Awards

The short film “Life without Limitations” about German junior soccer player Simon Ollert, won silver in two categories: “corporate video” and “fairs, shows, events, conference openers”. The short film describing multiple World Beard Champion Fritz Sendlhofer’s “Sound Memories” won silver in the “marketing communication – B2C” category.

For as long as Simon Ollert can remember, he has dreamed of being a professional soccer player and the young man has relentlessly pursued this dream despite being born with profound hearing loss. Ollert, says his Phonak-brand Sonova hearing aids have given him far more than just better hearing and quality of life; they have spurred his ambitions.

Sounds are among the strongest triggers of memories. This observation is explored in the short film “Sound Memories”, made by Austrian hearing services provider and Sonova Group brand Hansaton. In the film, Hansaton customer and Phonak hearing aid wearer Fritz Sendlhofer, a multiple winner of the “World Beard and Mustache Championships” from Austria, takes a trip down memory lane, introducing viewers to some of his favorite sounds.

“We are delighted about our wins at the Cannes Corporate Media & TV Awards,” says Sarah Kreienbühl, GVP Corporate HRM & Communications at Sonova. “The awards indicate that our communications strategy is headed in the right direction. These short films give real-life examples of how Sonova’s innovative hearing solutions help people live a life without limitations. They give a human face to our company’s vision.”
