so many features, nothing else looks as finished
so many features, everything else seems slow
so many features, you'll think you're unbreakable
To the hilux reference - that was actually a pretty cool and different campaign, nothing at all like the other three mentioned. When do you finish ad school?
To 1:37pm. Be careful, the power of the blog may go to your head.
So many features, if only I was playing maxi-spins.
NB: Only other pokie fiends will understand what I'm talking about
We have a saying at nzcreativecircle.
NAB - why? They only represent metro dailies, no metro Sundays. To be eligible the ad has to be in one of their rags. The judging is dodgy. It is entered by the NAB staff themselves. They rip what they consider to be good. The three unlucky judges get half an hour and some sbnacks to try and find something reasonable. It is hopelessw.
Sertously. Bring on the Caxtons.

Wow..this is wicked, do they have a DM category?
Sorry Chris.
These awards are a joke.
Do you know you have to PAY for mainstream media! With real money.
What cafe/fish hook manufacturer or tatoo parlour could possibly afford to pay to run the ads NZ has produced for free?
Are these old school media guys in the real world or what?
holy crap that ad is crap.
and i'm not into saying stuff is crap if i don't have to.
What about the Folio Awards, where each ad has to have run at least three times in a cover-priced magazine. Given that it's funded by the magazines, it does seem a little like they're just trying to drum up business, rather than encourage creativity.
Is that a bruise on her arm or is it her hair? I guess if she's gunna use her phone as perfume god knows what she's using for deodorant? B.I.M.B.O.
this campaign is better than most of the print running in aussie at the moment, apart from that awesome hyundai print from singos
Oh she's using it as PERFUME?
From the expression on her face, I thought she'd just finished enjoying its 'vibrating alert' function.
Nice idea. Shame about the art direction
For all the football fans 'in the know"
Lucky they didn't do the 'Ashley Cole' version.
For those of us not au fait with the activities of um...er..English soccer players (?), perhaps you could be a little more specific.
9.09 has the right idea. it is better than most print in Australia. In the time i worked in Australia I produced some fun cool TV ads that did well in the award shows but christ, how fucking hard is it to do a good print campaign in Australia? Now I don't mean the ones for small clients or the proactive stuff that never really runs but the big flight posters and press ads. My book from my time in Australia has one real print campaign in it! No wonder I had to go the other side of the world so I could say "You don't know it? Oh, it was huge in Australia. Everywhere, Sydney, Melbourne, the place was plastered."
Thanks 8:05.
It's always nice to know how you are going in London Malcolm. I theought your print campaign for Big M was the highlight of your career.
The way you made those milk cartons look like papparazi still sends shivers down my spine.
Would you like me to post it on the blog....just say the word.
does it mean that it ran if you put on the campaign brief site?
Proactive stuff? Small (read fuckwit) clients? The answer is yes 6:02.....if you can't get some halfwitted client to pay for your scam, just send it to CB and bingo, it's legit. What's this "NAB Ad of the month" anyway? Another scam thats what. These blogs are just about awards and self promotion. You dickheads wouldn't know good film making, good design, good communication if it crawled up your collective bums. As for quoting the few clever ad guys...how dare you! Dropping "Mick & Ian" impresses no-one you twerps. Go get a real job.
Singo.
Singo? is that really you. Please tell me it. I love you, you old daft racist.
It's my secretary under instruction. My typewriter won't connect to the internet and IT have fucked off home.
