True has won the January Newspaper Ad of the Month for Air NZ Remember when ads used to look like this? “This is a nice long copy ad which stood out from the rest,” the judges said.
Hampsta picked up a Special Mention for Don’t get dicked again, with the judges complimenting “the special strategic thought” behind the ad.
There was no winner award at December’s Newspaper Ad of the Month – but there were two special mentions. Young & Shand’s Life Pod Even God needs a hand sometimes (the judges said it was “beautifully art directed and topical”); and Clemenger BBDO’s Ministry for Primary Industries Blue Cod ad (“great strong creative but a full page would have given the art direction better impact”).
The judges were Andrew Davidson (Big Communications), Vikki Cheng (Sugar & Partners) and Rob Cook (Barnes, Catmur & Friends).
As there was no winner for December 2015, the prize for January jackpotted to $500.
