 GUEST JUDGE /BEST AD OF THE WEEK   WORLDWIDE    July 04, 2022 17:13 (Edited: February 17, 2023 05:19)
BEST TV
Favourite: Guinness 'Lovely Day for a Guinness'. Just love everything in it. The idea. The craft on the execution. The music. The sense of humor. It's good to make fun of ourselves sometimes, right? Nice way of bringing the brief into a lovely day for advertising.

Runner up: Pringles 'Paul'. As a copywriter by definition, I'm always looking for a well written copy. A print ad, a post, a radio spot or a TV spot, like this one.

Runner up: Amnesty International 'The Land of The Unfree'. Sad but true. The kind of idea that draws attention to such an important topic. And it does it in a bold way.

BEST PRINT
Favourite: Kazoo 'Social Bullets, 1'. This is a great print idea. Nice, simple and direct. Strong tagline. Like it.

Runner up: Wimbledon 'The Stage Awaits, 1'. Elegant as Wimbledon.

BEST OUTDOOR
Favourite: Vegemite 'Letter to the Queen'. "Oldie but goodie" kind of outdoor style. It's good to see that they still exist. And they still draw attention. Nice copy.

Runner up: Karangahape Road Business Association 'Bad Reviews'. This bad reviews campaign deserves a nice review for sure. Cool art direction.

BEST INTERACTIVE
Favourite: Isaac Silva / Casa Neon Cunha 'Visible Mark'. Bold. Powerful. Touching. Really well crafted. Relevant use of tech and design combined. Well done, guys.

Runner up: MUSKRAT Magazine 'Missing Matoaka'. Missing Matoaka is an impactful project that delivers a strong message for all of us. There is nothing more powerful than the truth.

BEST RADIO
Favourite: Faber-Castell 'Broccoli'. Simple yet powerful radio idea. It makes me imagine all those greens. Kudos.

Runner up: Corona Beer 'Plastic Killers'. While I was listening to the radio spot I was trying to figure how it would end. Really got me.
