It looks like Coke, it tastes like Coke, but it has zero sugar! To launch Coke Zero in the Asia Pacific market we latched on the idea of surprise. The discombobulating feeling when you think you’re drinking Coke only to find out it has zero sugar is exemplified in this tongue-and-cheek commercial.

BEST TV
LOVED the TV spot 'Barnados'...nicely shot and excellent editing. Great casting and made for a perfect :30. No need to watch this one over and over- the message is quite clear. Shit. Great ad.
Wrangler was funny - nice art direction and on brand...a distant second place.

BEST PRINT
I liked the Land Rover ad. Held my eye as I looked all over the page. Made me remember my first matchbox Land Rover (which I loved and still have...geek) and reminded me why I bought the real deal 20 years later. Right message delivered to the right demo. Very clever.
The Nikon ad was a close second. While I've seen this creative before, this one certainly was the most pleasing execution of it that I have seen. It worked. Nicely composed....little nuggets to find...and on brand.

BEST OUTDOOR
Outdoor was a strong category. Dreamfields(Bag was my fave and Soccer my second) gets my vote. Good campaign concept and executed well. Type and imagery are laid out well and I loved the pallet. I wish I could see it full size.

While Evil Dead: The Musical has played to rave reviews in New York City, Seoul, Montreal, and Toronto, their biggest challenge has been the name of the show. It actually scares off potential audience members. The Saatchi & Saatchi, Toronto challenge was to convince the public that it’s just like the musicals they already love – only with an evil, funny twist.
