Really? I didn’t realise it ran over here.
Which paper was this run in over here?
Can you win Ad of the month from australia???
It ran in the “Herald on Sunday”. 25th January.
This is bullshit. What is the point of this award if not to recognise local creativity? Or does NAB not care where the ads come from as long as they fill the space?
Yeah, no. Not ideal. The NZ newspaper ad of the month should probably be won by a NZ newspaper ad.
If you’re reading this, Lexie, it’s not too late for a magnanimous $250 each to M&C&Y&R.
the sad thing is that new zealand agencies could create a better ad in the whole month. It’s pretty average ad.
Thats the real joke here. I mean there are 2000 plus ads in the paper for the month and thats the best one.
Do we do any creative ads anymore.
Every second ad on tv is a re-run or a recut.
