PLAY THE SPOT Guest judge: Paul Nagy, CD, Clemenger BBDO Wellington This week's guest judge is Paul Nagy, creative director of Clemenger BBDO, Wellington, New Zealand. He has been recognised in all major international award shows - most recently receiving back-to-back gold and silver Lions at Cannes in 2007 and 2008. Paul's work includes the 'Sleep before you drive' Crashed Beds print campaign for NZTA, a billboard that was sent from one side of New Zealand to other (in over 300 pieces) via carrier pigeon for Omaka Aviation Museum, and the development of live text messaging to a website to promote the dangers of distracted drivers. He loves fly fishing, spending time with his wife and two daughters, and long walks on the beach.BEST TV Clean coal... I love a good oxymoron. Kinda reminds me of the 'Diet Coke' I have with my extra large Maccas meal deal. As such I chose Alliance For Climate Protection because it takes the piss out of phrases like 'clean coal', greenwashing and advertising in general. That line: "...harnesses the awesome power of the word: CLEAN" kills me. Understated and tinder dry as you'd expect from the Coen Brothers (and I love that sparkly, turd-like lump of coal that whizzes around the screen like Tinkerbell). As a runner-up I went with the Milk ad because it has a lovely, simple insight at its heart. But I couldn't finish without tipping my hat to the 'Good Knight' bug spray ad... A blindfolded guy throwing knives at a delighted, doomed midget... genius. BEST PRINT I've seen quite a few freeze-frame, smashed porcelain ads recently (we did one ourselves), but for a guy who loves a strong coffee, the Mambocino ad stood out for me. Delivers the prop in a blink of the eye, and I can't believe I wrote that. For a runner-up I like the 'Fast flowers' ad for 123fleurs because it tells a great story in a single image and I've been there. BEST OUTDOOR Loved the outdoor campaign for Canon's image stabilizer. Simple and engaging way to communicate the benefit of the product. For a runner-up I chose the TAM Viagens bookmarks - a clever reminder that, strangely, sometimes the best experiences in life aren't to be found 40 centimeters in front of your face. 20/20 distractionsTwenty20 cricket is a fast and furious game full of big hits. In fact the hits are SO big that the commentators have a lot of time on their hands while the ball's in the air.Agency DDB New Zealand PLAY THE BRIDESMAID SPOT PLAY THE MANZILLION SPOT PLAY THE INSPECTOR SPOT Pumping juice Arano is a small boutique juice company hidden amongst the trees and corrugated sheds of a small orchard north of Auckland.

VIEW THE SPOT The brave one SKY TV was hosting the New Zealand television premiere for the much anticipated 'The Brave One'. The idea from DDB New Zealand was to show everyone exactly what the movie was about by demonstrating just how brave one person can be. A very brave promo guy was set a series of tasks to test his courage. He had to attend a series of events wearing a sandwich board with a comment aimed at getting the public riled up. The back of the board announced that âThe Brave Oneâ was premiering on SKY.The stunts ran in four locations. A small New Zealand town, the drag races, a popular bikers pub and a speedway.
