A novelty in the Berlin scene: Uncle Berlin presented the Saatchi & Saatchi New German Director's Showcase at HBC on the 11th of October 2011. More than 120 guests showed up and celebrated after the showcase until way past midnight.

Maschke, Head of Creative Services at Saatchi & Saatchi, led through the evening and introduced a total of 12 director talents from Germany. Four of which - Stephan Hilpert, Felipe Ascacibar, Thomas Garber and Christoph Hochhäusler – were at the ceremony in person and were happy to talk about their work and future plans over a drink at the bar later on.

The Berlin advertising scenes was almost compeltely represented by the illustrious list of guests: Partizan, Stink, Markenfilm, Tempomedia, Who's McQueen, Soup, Filmdeluxe, Radical Media, Jo!schmid, Embassy of Dreams, Bubbles, Big Fish, NSF and Doity as well as directors, camera men, CDs and CCOs of well-known Berlin agencies (such as Saatchi & Saatchi, BBDO, JWT, M.E.C.H, JvM, Scholz & Friends, Y&R, VCCP).
