Atli Freyr Sveinsson, managing director of the advertising agency Íslenska auglýsingastofan, which took part in organizing the campaign, said the nominations are a great honor; they are in the running along with some heavyweights in the business.
These include Coca Cola, which was also nominated for Best Nordic Campaign, and the car manufacturer Saab, which is also in the running for the Best Crisis Management award.
Inspired by Iceland was launched when the volcanic eruption in Eyjafjallajökull paralyzed air traffic in Europe.
