 GUEST JUDGE /BEST AD OF THE WEEK   WORLDWIDE    August 31, 2015 14:32 (Edited: February 17, 2023 04:19)
The overall standard this week was pretty good but there were two standout pieces. The first is Dismaland by Banksy. A wonderfully executed satirical film, which has so many gems that it makes you want to watch it over and over again. And like all great Banksy pieces it really makes you think. The second is McWhopper. The idea that broke the Internet. Brilliantly orchestrated and seductively simple. Congrats to all the winners.
