 GUEST JUDGE /BEST AD OF THE WEEK   WORLDWIDE    July 29, 2019 16:17 (Edited: February 17, 2023 05:19)
BEST TV
Winner - Old Spice: Next Episode. They had me at the opening line...Derek! While it's not the best film I have seen from Old Spice, it is super entertaining and has loads of fun insights that you'll discover each time you watch it. I do however wish they had more fun with the tagline, this one is a bit on the nose.

Runner Up - Nurofen: Socially Acceptable. The health category is incredibly tough. The Socially Acceptable campaign is a completely ridiculous way to sell pain relief. Well done. I'm not sure how effective it's going to be but at least it's engaging. More of this please.

BEST PRINT
Winner - Mitsubishi Motors: Voice Messaging. Simple, clean and visually striking. The Mitsubishi Voice Messaging gets my vote.

Runner Up - Ford: i. The Ford text and driving poster is a beautifully simple visual. Two thumbs up. It was my favourite idea but I feel the art direction on the tagline is way too complicated and will be missed by consumers. The tagline feels a little clunky too. What a shame.

BEST OUTDOOR
Winner - Anais: Unquiet Voices. Wow. Wow. Wow. I so want to see this 40 minute film. Taking silent films and giving abused women a voice to speak up is truly amazing. So powerful.

Runner Up - Burger King: Why try to roast when you can't even flame grill? It's always great to see both agency and client working together to have fun with their brand and creating topical ideas at speed. It's old school and I'm lovin' it.

BEST INTERACTIVE
Winner - Charite: Printed by Parkinsons. Overall, I thought the Interactive campaigns were ok, not great. I did like the Printed by Parkinsons idea, it's visually interesting. Where it's let down is the call to action. How can we truly help? The majority of people know what Parkinsons is, so an awareness campaign is not effective.

Runner Up - Ikea: Designed for Apples. I'm not sure how this made it into Interactive, it’s a print ad. But I did like the cheekiness of the idea. It's the perfect tone for IKEA.
