Seen and noted

BEST TV
Winner: Toyota 'Unbreakable Bond'. Any ad that can get the term "genital-men" on air gets the nod from us. Nice direction and casting (Walt and your beard-matching steering wheel cover, we're looking at you) that makes for an enjoyable ride.

Runner Up: Smith City 'A Whiteware Christmas'. A nice bit of acting from our electric knife wielding woman. Would've loved to have seen her fly off the handle even more during that rant, but all in all was a fun spot. And that old fella was right, he should've got the fridge with the ice maker.

BEST PRINT
Winner: Bohempia 'Dope Sneakers'. Ha! Made us smile. A very nice way to sell hemp shoes. We hope their entire range is shot on powerlines - Would look... well... dope. And they could open stores anywhere, because there's no shelf quite like it.

Runner up: No runner up this week. Although the fries are making us hungry. Which, to be fair, might just be a knock-on effect from liking the hemp.

BEST OUTDOOR
Winner: MDS &KiKa 'Teddy Bear Crowd'. "Ad"orable. Sorry couldn't help it. Nice use of outdoor and a good fundraiser. And no doubt the most well-behaved football supporters ever.

Runner up: No runner up this week. There were a lot of domestic violence ads across all mediums this week, which we really hoped would offer up something fresh and effective but unfortunately nothing really cut the mustard.

BEST INTERACTIVE
Winner: Happyluja / She Drew 'Boobolution'. This is probably a better film/craft idea, but the visuals are beautiful and compelling - and we'd want to buy them - so job done for fundraising.

Runner up: WWF 'Nature Is Calling For Help'. This is under 'web film' but it's a better radio idea. Still, quite compelling.




This week's guest judges are Lisa Fedyszyn and Jonathan McMahon, executive creative directors at Special Group, New Zealand.

Australia, New Zealand, USA, New Zealand. No matter where they go, Lisa and Jonathan's student loans still waits for them. So, they keep working, as Executive Creative Directors of Special Group, New Zealand's leading independent agency network.

They have created the "Most entertaining recruitment film" (and most successful) for the New Zealand Police, which saw the largest intake of female and diverse recruits ever. They found a stunt that was even too dangerous for stuntwoman Zoe Bell to perform, for Auckland Transport. They have humiliated one of Australia's most celebrated sportsmen for McDonald's, and once squeezed 60 scenes into a 60 second film for SKY. They also charged male politicians 10% more than women for their morning coffee to bring awareness to pay inequality, and have hidden novels in Word and PowerPoint documents so employees can read books at work.

Amongst them they've (OK, it's mostly just Lisa) judged at Cannes, Clio, New York Festivals, London Internationals, Young Guns and AWARD, and this year they were (Fine! It was just Lisa) Convenor of Judges for AXIS. Their work has won awards at Effies, Cannes, D&AD, One Show, Clio, Webbys, and two Best In Shows at Axis, For two years they were national heads for AWARD School NZ and when they were young they were named in Young Guns Top 10 Creatives of the Decade.
