COLENSO’S LANCASTER AND HITCHCOCK MAY WINNERS OF THE ORCA RADIO AWARDS

Colenso BBDO’s Josh Lancaster and Jamie Hitchcock took out the May ORCA with their radio spot for the New Zealand International Comedy Festival simply called ‘Offensive’.  They win $250 of music vouchers for themselves, a radio campaign to the value of $5,000 for their client and automatic entry for their ad into next year’s Grande ORCAs.  The pair’s cheeky late-night spot played on the politically incorrect nature of comedy sketches and was rewarded with a near-perfect score from this month’s judges.

The closing date for June ORCA entries is end of play Monday 16th May.  So if you think you can do better than Josh & Jamie, then go to the TRB website and upload your entries now.  Monthly winners are automatically entered into the Grande ORCAs with the chance to win a trip for 2 to the Cannes Lions 2009 for themselves and a $50,000 radio campaign for their client.
