Medecins Sans Frontieres continually deliver humanitarian aid around the world under the most difficult and dangerous circumstances. The brief for McCann Erickson London was to communicate the challenges facing their aid work in a way that avoided the problem of 'charity fatigue': immunity to the conventions of charity advertising.

Best: I loved the Pure Blonde film from Clemenger BBDO, Melbourne. What a well-told story. Great casting and beautifully executed. It made me forget I'm a jaded creative for a second....

BEST TV
Hooray for ads. I feel really good after viewing this week's top picks. I went into it worrying that I wouldn't like anything and then I'd have to find a way to pick two I didn't really hate and then find something nice but non-commital to say about them, but guess what? There's some really nice stuff here. Maybe it's because I'm four hours from a vacation, but who cares, they made me happy and I'm honored to review them.
Best: I loved the Pure Blonde film from Clemenger BBDO, Melbourne. What a well-told story. Great casting and beautifully executed. It made me forget I'm a jaded creative for a second. And even though I guessed there was a twist coming (I felt personally invested in the well-being of that little dove, and that never goes well) it was still surprising and paid off the great (and insightful) line 'from a place much more pure than yours' perfectly. Jealous.
Runner up: Allan Gray: Legend. Sometimes it's a cop-out to attach your brand to a celebrity. In this case, in my opinion at least, the thought of taking a celebrity we all know died too young and wrapping it in the idea of 'given more time, imagine the possibilities' was a fresh inventive take. Great writing. Crafted expertly. It even made me think about my own long-term investing. And why I don't have any. And why I'm not cool like James Dean.

BEST PRINT
Best: Ambi Pur: Calvin. I know, I know, we've seen spoofs of perfume ads before. But come on, this is funny. Shot with just the right amount of seriousness and beauty. And it makes me think about bathroom products a little differently. Plus, I kind of got lost in imagining the story of this unlikely couple meeting, falling in love and leaving a path of flower-fresh bathrooms in their wake. Please let me know how they are doing.
Runner up: Ikea: Crossword. It's easy to say we should make communications people want to participate in, and hard to do. And here's a nice execution that does it well. It's fun. And it tells you things. And it isn't trying too hard. Thanks.

BEST OUTDOOR
Best: Office of Road Safety: Brain game. I have not seen a really unique take on the don't drink and drive message in a long time. This execution would be impossible not to notice. And would make you feel kind of dumb for drinking, and really dumb for drinking and driving. Great execution, great placement.
Runner up: Elmex toothpaste: Bus ticket. Sure, it's a little gimmicky, but you know what - I bet it gets noticed and I bet it works. The idea of eschewing the usual sparkly shiny teeth message and instead showing holes punched in your teeth, literally, is no doubt surprising. And it makes me want to brush my teeth immediately.

All in all, a great batch of ideas. Congratulations to all. And thanks for the opportunity. Have a great day everyone. I know I will, because I'm almost on vacation.

However, most Australians don't know this. To change perceptions, BMF Sydney developed an emotive campaign that addressed this common misunderstanding head on. The campaign includes a 30 second TV spot as well as cross track posters and online banners.

Fresh 'n Fruity is a fruited yoghurt brand made unique by its fresh ingredients and innovative processes. To capture this idea agency Colenso BBDO, Auckland sought to create a beautiful piece of film that demonstrated yoghurt-making in the most crazy and original way they could, while still maintaining appetite appeal, and the playful tone synonymous to the Fresh 'n Fruity brand.
And this is the result. Two 33-tonne wrecking ball cranes, facing off in a spectacular battle/dance until they finally collide, creating an amazing display of fruit mixing with yoghurt - because no one does fresh and fruity like Fresh 'n Fruity.
