The night’s big winner was the agency’s print campaign for DIPO’s Salat olive oil, which took the Print Grand Prix on top of 2 Gold and 2 Silver Volcanoes. This brought it the competition’s top award, the Volcán Grand Prix, as well as netting client DIPO the Advertiser of Year Award.

It was also a good night for The Osa Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to active rainforest conservation and cultural heritage projects on the Osa Peninsula. Tribu Saatchi & Saatchi’s compelling work won 8 Volcanoes in all, including a Gold and 2 Silvers for their ‘Eagle’ and ‘Toad’ TV campaign, and a Gold and a Silver for their ‘Logs’ outdoor idea.

Javier Mora and Pablo Chaves, the agency’s Executive Creative Directors, said, “Tribu Saatchi & Saatchi is now Agency of the Year in Costa Rica. Our next challenge is to join the elite of the creative agencies in the Saatchi & Saatchi Network, by achieving international awards at the Clios, FIAP, Cannes and more in 2009.”
