https://www.bestadsontv.com/news/http://www.bestadsontv.com/files/thumbnails/2008/Apr/13476_Halo3.jpg
Here's a recap on a campaign that is cleaning up at award shows this year. At the ANDY Awards the GRANDY Best In Show Award went to McCann Worldgroup in San Francisco and T.A.G., for its Microsoft XBOX Halo 3 campaign “Believe.” (originally featured on Best Ads in September 07).
According to Mark Waites, Honorary Chairman of the International ANDY Awards and Creative Director and Founding Partner, Mother London, the work continues to reflect a departure from traditional approaches and mediums, showing greater emphasis on integrated programs with a very prominent digital component: “It’s getting increasingly difficult to believe that a stand alone TV spot is going to have any real impact these days. There has to be other elements to a successful campaign. The 2008 GRANDY, the Best in Show, was won by an incredible integrated campaign that engaged on many levels across many mediums. Without a doubt we will see this level of integration being an area for much innovation.” If you missed it before here is the TV spot again (It is also tipped to do very well at the Clio Festival next month).

ANDY DILALLO AND JAY BENJAMIN, JOINT ECD, JWT SYDNEY

 GUEST JUDGE /BEST AD OF THE WEEK   AUSTRALIA    April 30, 2008 02:11 (Edited: February 17, 2023 05:19)
https://www.bestadsontv.com/news/upload/ANDY%26JAY-BESTADS.jpgThis week's guest judges are Andy DiLallo and Jay Benjamin, currently joint CDs at JWT Sydney and the newly appointed Executive Creative Directors at Leo Burnett Sydney, the agency behind WWF 'Earth Hour'. Together Jay and Andy have climbed their way from humble beginnings at The Creative Circus in Atlanta to become two of the hottest ECDs in the Asia Pacific region. A year and a half ago, the duo was snared from Saatchi & Saatchi New Zealand to become Deputy CDs at JWT Sydney. Their abilities as creative directors were quickly recognized and they were promoted to ECDs in just under six months. Since the appointment, they have taken JWT Sydney from creative obscurity to one of the leading creative agencies in Australia, a feat no one thought possible. The agency's work on Thrifty, Olympus and Johnson & Johnson is already being recognized around the world - currently JWT Sydney rank #2 on the 2008 Bestads Rankings. Prior to becoming ECDs, Andy and Jay played a large part in garnering a combined five Campaign Brief Agency of the Year titles between Saatchi & Saatchi Sydney and Auckland. The two started their careers at Bozell NY, the third hottest agency in the world at Cannes while they were there. Their work has been recognized repeatedly at every major award show including One Show, Cannes, D&AD, Clio, The Andys and AWARD. Despite a heady list of accomplishments, Andy and Jay credit most of their recent success to the development of one of the most vibrant, ego free departments they've ever worked in.

BEST TV
Beards, anal sex, and transvestites. Wow, lots to consider this week. First off, although it didn't make it into our top two, we are giving Karisa honourable mention for direction. This was a very brave step for such a mainstream client. It would be very interesting, to know if this ad was designed to target women, or similar.
For our runner up we chose 'I Wish Girls Were More Like Pot Noodle', a very funny ode to Pot Noodle. This spot lives up to the past work done on the brand and with a tag line like 'Je T'aime Madame Noodle' we had to pick it. For Ad of the week we chose Bud Light 'Dude Vegas'. Simply put, we both love this ad.

BEST PRINT
In the print section several things stood out and not all for good reason. The first was for the Association of Women Against Genital Mutilation. Somehow the image of a blow-up doll in a rice patty felt really inappropriate. Next was the Maze ad for Renault. For us it felt too much like an image from an eighties stock book.
First, and second choices for this week were pretty easy. For runner up we chose Armstrong Laminate Flooring. The images were beautiful and although the concept itself didn't feel the freshest, the comparison drawn between celebrity look-alikes and the product felt really appropriate. It should also be pointed out that the flooring will probably fool more people than the impersonators. Nice one. Finally our choice for the best print ad of the week goes to Amnesty International, a strong follow up to last year's ad. This series is quite iconic.

BEST OUTDOOR
For the runner up, which was just barely edged out, we chose Carlsberg. A simple clever idea that makes good use of a captive audience. But for the best outdoor ad of the week we chose The Rumah Siput Foundation. Making great use of the clapper, this idea felt really fresh and left a very positive feeling.

SPREAD THE NEWS ABOUT CHLAMYDIA

https://www.bestadsontv.com/news/http://bestadsontv.com/files/thumbnails/2008/Apr/13444_Love_child_morph.jpg
To raise awareness about the dangers of Chlamydia and promote STD Month, the American Social Health Association has developed a Facebook application to spread Chlamydia from person-to-person online. With the “MorphMonkey” application, users can ‘Make a Love Child’ by morphing images of their own face with those of friends.
However, the the humor then takes a different turn when the Chlamydia bacteria is passed, and the second 'parent' is notified of the infection. At the same time, both users are invited to “spread it to beat it’ by creating more love children with other friends and passing on the message about the STD. Through a link to ashastd.org users can get all the facts.
All Facebook users can participate in the campaign by downloading the MorphMonkey application on http://apps.facebook.com/morphmonkey
The walk-through video can also be viewed on http://www.vimeo.com/942341
