 GUEST JUDGE /BEST AD OF THE WEEK   WORLDWIDE    February 06, 2013 00:49 (Edited: February 17, 2023 04:19)
BEST TV
First place goes to 'Slip Francois' by BETC Paris, because it's bizarre, intriguing and made us laugh. Which is all you can hope for when selling pants.

Runner Up goes to 'Make room for life' by Mother. It's a good insight and a nice piece of visual story telling, but perhaps the ending is a little too cheesy?

BEST PRINT
Some really slim pickings here, but first place goes to 'Bath Tub' by Grey, because it's a true insight and has the potential to be funny...

Runner Up goes to... er... um... okay, Land Rover.

BEST OUTDOOR
Top spot goes to 'Wellington Beer' by Clemenger BBDO, Wellington, because they actually brewed their own beer, which always gets a tick in our book. The Wellington Tourist Board should have nicked this idea.

Runner Up goes to Orbis and their 'Old parts from new' campaign. It's a great charity, doing some great work and the fact that they raised the money needed to keep it going, is a job well done.

BEST INTERACTIVE
First place goes to 'Stockholm City Mission' by DDB Stockholm. It's a simple way of donating second hand clothes to a worthy charity and probably means that Stockholm will have some of the best dressed 'down and outs' in Europe. And that can't be a bad thing.

Runner Up goes to McDonald's 'Track My Maccas' by DDB Sydney. It's a neat piece of technology and it does a good job of giving people a window into the world of McDonald's Quality Control for their own piece of mind. Personally, if we're ever in McD's we're usually drunk, so we don't care where our stodge comes from just as long as it goes in our stomachs.
