Scott-Wilson bottled by Blood, Talbot wins enormous lunch

Over 300 people from the majority of Auckland’s agencies gathered at La Zeppa restaurant on Monday night to hear seven leading Creative Directors recount their most entertaining memories from their time in advertising.

The convivial assembly were treated to tales of incontinence, infidelity, indiscretion, fallen pride, creative gift wrapping, and a barefaced disregard for other motorists, and Andy Blood broke a bottle over Sion Scott-Wilson’s head.

Saatchi & Saatchi’s Toby Talbot was the winner of the $1000 lunch at Bella Restaurant. The audience was regaled charmingly with his tale about a pitch gone wrong at Saatchi & Saatchi London in the early nineties.

The CAANZ Kitchen Table would like to thank all those who came, as well as MC Robbie Magasiva, sponsors Tiger Beer, 3rd Eye Recruitment, Bella Restaurant, Volkswagen and Adidas, Spyglass for the sound and lighting, La Zeppa for having us, and the seven Creative Directors for so graciously coping with what Toby described as ‘the cuntiest thing we’ve ever had to do’.

Similar events will be taking place in 2006.
