nice stuff Republik
No DDB? That will bring on a few attacks of insecurity. Get ready for the onslaught of diversionary PR.
Hardly surprising is it 8.12, what with the mighty hamburger calling most of the creative shots.
Haha! Plenty of good agency talent have been ‘fried’ by the mighty burger along the way too.
Republik’s Greg Wylie is an incredibly handsome man.
Well done lads.
Who are you 8:12PM? When are you going to stop grinding that axe of yours? There can’t be much axe left by now. I know for a fact that DDB didn’t enter the NY Festivals or any of the non-essential award shows this year because they have better things to do with their money like keep their staff in jobs (Colenso quietly let a bunch of theirs go last week I hear). Incidentally, are there any award show on the planet that Colenso hasn’t entered? I love the delicious irony of Nick Worthington’s remarks on this very blog about how the industry here should make a stand and just enter Cannes and Axis. Fuck me, he really is practicing what he preaches, isn’t he.
509. POT. KETTLE. BLACK.
909. YOU. OBVIOUSLY. DON’T. KNOW. WHAT. THAT. EXPRESSION. MEANS.
Hi team,
Just to recap; an award show only becomes ‘essential’ when DDB enters it.
Lesson over.
Agencies enter NY Festivals because it’s the most international show out there. Enter Cannes? Have you seen their Jury? Or D&AD? Same group of select few each year… Might be top notch guys, but not really international.
