to be a scorecard :
Clemenger BBDO 6
Colenso BBDO 17
DDB New Zealand 9
MTC 10
Publicis Mojo 11
Saatchi & Saatchi 15
WRC 1

I see Big Ad managed to sneak through for Australia.
Great work Karl…
And if you don’t take out the craft categories just to suit you, the list reads…MTC 17COLENSO 16SAATCHI 15MOJO 14DDB 9CLEMS 5WRC 1
Good work Josh.
word
In the original post we counted Art Direction and Copywriting craft nominations but omitted craft categories which are usually entered by those actually reponsible for the work, like film companies and composers and photographers. If anyone from the listed agencies did actually score music themselves, or light and expose the film, we apologise.
I think what “Josh” was trying to say was that the MTC lads must have directed, edited and did the cinematography for L&P, therefore those finalists should be inlcuded in their swag.
Think they may have done the idea too. Not sure though, might have been a freelancer.
of course we didn’t direct, edit, score the music, cinematographise the ads… The fact remains we are super stoked with our lot. And Adams.And Silverscreens.And Liquids.And as far as Im concerned they are all finalists for our client.And that makes me feel pretty proud. A great idea is not an ad. Its just the start of one.And if we all gave more of a shit about the crafting of our ads – NZ ads (and possibly even yours) might be doing a little better than they are.Josh
Oh yeah? Then what went wrong with Lion Red, Steinlager and Holden. Don’t be such a cock. Ever heard of humility?
Controversial.
Sounds like our mate JL could be another contender for the exclusive Karl club.
Karl said…Welcome.
I reckon ‘Club Karl’ has a better ring to it
Did Karl teach you craft skills?
Stop being such nasty cunts. MTC deserved every nomination in AWARD, and it’s cool to see Josh and Jamie milking it.
bout time Meares Taine won an award, and mobius don’t count.
Cheers Lion Red.
I just wish they wouldn’t milk themselves so publically. Can’t they find a bathroom?
Tough crowd in Auckland, isn’t it.
