Seen and noted

BEST TV
Winner: Colorsteel 'For a home you can be proud of'. It made me watch twice just to see if they didn't let any hole in this nice, fun, surprising film. It's a simple story, well directed and it has a good casting. Great work.

Runner-Up: Absolut 'The Walk'. I really like how they reconnected Absolut's legacy of posters created great artists and for great causes and bringing them back. The film idea with the "Where's Waldo"-like game really got me. Elegantly directed too.

BEST PRINT
Winner: Burger King 'Crashes'. Nice add to the 'real photos' series started by BK last year. This one starts with the WTF effect, it's extremely relevant, funny and now the joke is on...'us'. Congrats to the absurdly talented team at Lola.

Runner-Up: Aldi: 'Fresh'. I saw this campaign in other award shows before and it won a lot of well-deserved metal. It uses a digital mindset in an analogic media. And hey, it's retail. 'Fresh' thinking.

BEST OUTDOOR
Winner: KLM 'We Are an Airline'. When a brand embraces the problems that it has and laughs about it, they have my immediate respect and admiration. This is big, surprising and never-seen-before fun.

Runner-Up: McDonald's 'Sydney Tower'. What is a better media to advertise than a place where everybody can see your idea? Well played, McDonald's and OMD, well played.

BEST INTERACTIVE
Winner: Audi 'e-xperience'. A test drive of an electric car...on your phone while you drive your own traditional fuel car. If this idea wasn't already smart, they use the data to retarget potential new electric car owners. Really smart. I hope it gets some great results too.

Runner-Up: ZAK 'World's Worst RFP'. Bold attitude. This funny video about an extremely serious subject for our industry made me actually go to their page and read everything they’re proposing.
