SYDNEY, Last night: NZ entrants performed above their weight at Australia’s AWARD Awards – with four Gold Pencils apiece going to Clemenger BBDO Wellington, DDB Group NZ and FCB NZ. In addition, FCB NZ’s Lennie Galloway and Thomas Gledhill were named Creative Team of the Year.
Ogilvy NZ also scored two Golds, and Colenso BBDO a single Gold (scroll down for all the NZ Golds).
Held at Australian Technology Park in Sydney the ceremony delivered a record 58 Gold Pencils across 22 different campaigns and awarded a further 80 silvers and 129 bronze awards.
“The Aussies don’t give credit to Kiwis lightly, so to be third agency overall is no mean feat.”
Best in Show was awarded to Che Proximity Australia’s AutoAds for Carsales.com.au. Network of the Year was BBDO; and Production Company of the Year was Finch.
DDB NZ ceo Justin Mowday said: “We’re incredibly proud to be the leading NZ agency at AWARD this year.
“The Aussies don’t give credit to Kiwis lightly, so to be third agency overall is no mean feat. What’s particularly gratifying to see is that all of our winning campaigns were work that drove significant business results for our clients.
“A huge thanks to the world-class marketers who are our client partners, your insights, passion and critical thinking are what make the work great.”
