 GUEST JUDGE /BEST AD OF THE WEEK   WORLDWIDE    October 30, 2012 20:00 (Edited: February 17, 2023 05:19)
BEST TV
1. HIV Foundation
2. Trident Fresh
3. War child
4. DSTV
5. Beetle
6. OPI

The HIV film is a good idea that works better in print. But the surprise works well the first time you watch it. The Trident film is a very funny commercial. We don't particularly like the idea but it's very well directed, so it's very enjoyable.

BEST PRINT
1. Old Spice
2. Bang & Olufsen
3. Fire Safety
4. Surfrider
5. Lego
6. The Wayside Chapel

Old Spice is the simplest, clearest idea. It's very dumb and a good print campaign for deodorants.

BEST OUTDOOR
1. Harvey Nichols
2. Coca Zero
3. Nissan
4. Bahia Marina
5. Body crash/Speeding
6. Porteur Bicycles

Harvey Nichols is a good outdoor campaign. The idea is simple, impactful and insightful. Coca Zero doesn't have the scale (James Bond-style) to make it a big event.

BEST INTERACTIVE
1. John F. Kennedy Library and Museum
2. Hennessey VS: The Wild Rabbit Hole
3. Volkswagen: Street Quest
4. American Express
5. Ford Mustang: Dream Mustang
6. Nescafe: Cover photo display

John F. Kennedy is a great tribute to Neil Armstrong. Hennessey VS is very well crafted.
