Judges Cleve Cameron (JWT), Chris Schofield (DDB) and Josh Lancaster & Jamie Hitchcock (Assignment Group) unanimously voted Special Group’s entry as the latest ORCA winner, praising it for being “Fantasic use of Radio – going beyond ads, creating excitement and surprise.” and “A brilliant, pure radio idea.”
