George Patterson Y&R leads the trans-Tasman agency pack with eight finalists, followed closely by Colenso BBDO,Auckland and Whybin/TBWA with seven finalists apiece, and New Zealand’s Special Group with six finalists.
The most finalists for 2012 were in the hotly contested FMCG category, followed by Best Use of the Newspaper Medium, Best Art Direction and Best Campaign.
This year’s Caxton Awards include two new categories, mobile and tablet and technical innovation, with GPY&R a finalist in both.
Visitors to the Caxton page can watch the Enter The Caxton Nollywood movie trailer, which was launched earlier this week ahead of the movie’s premiere at this year’s Caxtons.
The 2012 Caxton Seminar and Awards will be held from Friday to Sunday, October 12th to 14th, at Hamilton Island in the Whitsundays.
International keynote speakers Jeff Goodby, Derek Robson and Lee Clow will headline the annual Caxton seminar, while Caxton winners will be announced at the Awards Night ceremony on Saturday October 13th.
