Guest judge: Andrew Fraser, ECD, JWT Sydney
  GUEST JUDGE /BEST AD OF THE WEEK   AUSTRALIA   Dec 23, 2008
upload/ANDREW-FRASER-1.jpg
Andrew started his career in advertising at BMP (now DDB London) and was there for 15 years. He was lucky enough to work with many talented people at the agency and like most people there at the time, won a hatful of awards. His most awarded and well-known work has been for Volkswagen and The Guardian newspaper.
He has subsequently taken up ECD roles at Draftfcb and Rapier in London. Three months he ago touched down in Sydney to fill the ECD spot at JWT and build on the new creative buzz at the agency.
Andrew loves the new approach to media and working in ideas beyond the traditional channels. Despite all the economic gloom, he feels that this is a pretty good time to be in the advertising.
