DDB SYDNEY WINS BEST OF SHOW, SAATCHI SYDNEY NAMED AGENCY OF THE YEAR AT INAUGURAL KODAK GONGS


The inaugural Kodak Gongs were presented at the State Theatre in Sydney Wednesday night, attended by a crowd of 500 agency and production luminaries. The winners were judged from 88 finalists out of 628 entries received throughout the Asia Pacific region. 33 Gongs were awarded in total from the 42 categories.

DDB Sydney took out Best of Show for their Konica Minolta "Mud" spot and CB Agency of the Year Saatchi & Saatchi took out the Gongs Agency of the Year title, based on a body of work at the show, including spots for their client, Toyota, which picked up Advertiser of the Year. Other Best of the Best winners included: Production House of the Year - Revolver Film; Post Production Company of the Year - Oktobor; Directors of the Year - Steve Rogers of Revolver Film and Iain Mackenzie of Pod Film.

The Kodak Gongs were judged in two rounds. The first round to decide finalists comprised panels from the Asia Pacific region while the second round was judged by a stellar International Panel.

“The momentum that has brought us to tonight started well over two years ago. It started because a group of independent production companies under the umbrella of SPAA decided it was time to actively promote excellence, independence and creativity”, the committee chairmen, Richard White-Smith and Mike Vanderfield said in a joint statement.

“The Kodak Gongs are ambitious. They were built from the ground up to recognise excellence in the craft and ideas of the commercial moving image. They're about the Asia Pacific region. They're about the winners being judged as objectively as possible by a stellar jury from around the world. They're not-for-profit. and they are about work for any technology, delivery platform or new media.

“Tonight is a celebration of the best work created in the last 18 months to sell products and build brands, and recognition of the clients who were smart enough to get this work made. At the same time tonight is intended as a powerful demonstration of the vitality, diversity and ingenuity of this industry. It is blindingly obvious that great ads work. More than ever we need to stand together and advertise what we do best.”
