 GUEST JUDGE /BEST AD OF THE WEEK   AUSTRALIA    December 24, 2008 02:00 (Edited: February 17, 2023 05:19)
https://www.bestadsontv.com/news/upload/ANDREW-FRASER-1.jpg
Andrew started his career in advertising at BMP (now DDB London) and was there for 15 years. He was lucky enough to work with many talented people at the agency and like most people there at the time, won a hatful of awards. His most awarded and well-known work has been for Volkswagen and The Guardian newspaper.
He has subsequently taken up ECD roles at Draftfcb and Rapier in London. Three months he ago touched down in Sydney to fill the ECD spot at JWT and build on the new creative buzz at the agency.
Andrew loves the new approach to media and working in ideas beyond the traditional channels. Despite all the economic gloom, he feels that this is a pretty good time to be in the advertising.

BEST TV
My fav is the anti-smoking ad, featuring the sweet voice of a little child. The only thing that scares her (it turns out that it's not spiders or even Becky Taylor) is "my Mum smoking and that my Mum will die". It draws you in, it's convincing and will give even a hardened smoker a sharp pang of guilt.
Second is the ad for Decathlon. A father thinks he is witnessing a young lad having energetic sex with his daughter in her bedroom above him. What the father doesn't know is that, in fact, they are playing Decathlon, a sports video console... All good innocent fun. I just feel so bad for the father. A nicely crafted ad.

BEST PRINT
And the winner is the Ramhorn ad for Defender. A goat looks wistfully up a mountainside, presumably at his main competition on the craggy slopes, the Land Rover Defender. A very simple idea, beautifully executed.
In second place: the Team Vodafone ad, which celebrates Team Vodafone's success in the Supercar championships. I quite like this ad, but it does seem a little familiar.

BEST OUTDOOR
I'm going for Dave in his amusing leopard skin g-string for first prize. The ambient statue of Dave is a timely reminder to prevent the perils of summer madness, and is brought to you by Frosty Fruits. I think this will raise a titter in the streets of Melbourne.
Second best in the outdoor section goes to the park benches idea for Tella. I've seen this kind of thought a few times before for mobile phones, but the stripy benches do look good and I'm sure will generate some interest.
