 GUEST JUDGE /BEST AD OF THE WEEK   WORLDWIDE    January 23, 2017 15:42 (Edited: February 17, 2023 05:19)
BEST TV
Pretty good week on the film camp. Adidas Original is Never Finished leads the way with a great celebration to originality. It's a beautiful spot with amazing craft and really truthful to what Adidas Originals stands for. The song, My Way, ironically was the one danced by the new president on his inaugural powwow. Kohler Never Too Wanted has beautiful craft and for sure is very unusual work for... faucets! I did like The Warning for Snickers too. Nice way to play with a great concept.

BEST PRINT
Print was a bit of a let down this past week. Brexit and Trump were the inspiration to my top choices. With the high emotions surrounding both topics, I wish these two print ads had gone a bit further than they did. My pick for best goes to Guardian, so this way Trump comes in second place.

BEST OUTDOOR
Two ideas caught my eye. One very traditional poster that invites you to Read Better Stories than the ones you're reading on your instagram feed for Paper Plus (bookstore?). Pretty funny. Simple. Sad. And the other very generous, called Re-Pizza, a campaign to avoid restaurant food waste, where unique original pizza flavors were made from food that would have gone to waste. A great idea, really nice and simple execution, it deserves to be famous and it can grow bigger with partnering with chefs that can create recipes using these ingredients. Re-Pizza takes best outdoor with Paper Plus coming in second.

BEST INTERACTIVE
I'm pretty obsessed with claw machines. So the Sports Experts Grab a Gift had me there. Funny. Simple. Well done. The Cadilac Instagram Test Drive comes second. Nice intention.
