 This week's guest judge is Dave Brady, integrated creative director at Colenso BBDO in New Zealand. Winner: Taco Bell, Chasing Gold. I watched this one last and rejoiced because I was struggling for a standout spot, but then the ridiculous struck. It's so over the top and totally, well, cheesy but it also totally knows it. I'm so glad they went past the highs and into the downfall and torment of the artist. Fun.

Nothing pisses off people quite as much as dealing with admin. Well, a new company called Hnry takes that pain away, by looking after invoicing and tax returns for freelancers and contractors. To make them aware of, this, FCB, New Zealand took one tiny, relatable aspect of their pain and made it huge and famous – we started a nationwide manhunt for a lost receipt. It started simply enough, with our fictional hero posting flyers and community notices. But, it soon escalated.
