Guest judges: Scott Harris and Damien Eley, Mother London

 GUEST JUDGE /BEST AD OF THE WEEK   UK    February 04, 2009 04:56 (Edited: February 17, 2023 04:19)
https://www.bestadsontv.com/news/upload/DamienEley%26ScottHarris.jpgThis week's guest judges are Scott Harris and Damien Eley, senior creatives at Mother, London. The pair began their careers at BMF in Australia. Next stop was Ogilvy, New York, where they spent four years. They moved to London to work at Mother three years ago and their latest offerings include a full-length musical for their client Pot Noodle and a dead dog as the spokesperson for the latest FRANK anti-cocaine campaign.

It was fascinating for us to compare the ads from the Superbowl at the height of the dot-com boom where E*Trade proudly boasted it had wasted $2 million on their ad. Now they're dancing around the credit crunch and talking babies are always a safe bet...

It was fascinating for us to compare the ads from the Superbowl at the height of the dot-com boom where E*Trade proudly boasted it had wasted $2 million on their ad. Now they're dancing around the credit crunch and talking babies are always a safe bet. Funny babies, though. Monster.com is definitely better for us, however. A surprising and original gag, beautifully shot and its simplicity would have stood out.

BEST PRINT
The good old shoe deodoriser brief. Nice and simple ad without being overly inspiring. It was really hard to give a second place but the Aspirin ad just scraped through.

BEST OUTDOOR
Hate to give the award to the ad with the bum cheeks in it but it seems a nice solution for the product, TV6. It's a relevant demonstration and we're sure the media departments are still having nightmares about it. It was a close call between Rimmell and NZ House&Garden for second but we're going to give it to the mini billboards making people feel guilty about their crappy houses. We liked the thinking behind being able to tailor each ad to its specific environment.
