Our first ad awards ended badly for us, but brilliantly for our agency.
The big award went to Leith for the irn-bru Bruzil campaign. A great campaign by Chris Scott and David Grenfell. We were up cheering again for best press: financial, professional or trade advert by Mike Maxwell and Ian Fletcher. Swiftly followed by best use of outdoor advert on a mobile medium by Guy Vickerstaff and Phil Evans.
We were then delighted that Steve Allsopp and Alfie Hayward won best use of animation for their knife crime viral. Leith Records picked up best self promotion too. And the big winner was Bruzil, which received more than a few.
We missed out on winning creative team of the year. But, Leith won agency of the year, which is what really matters. To see all the work and winners, just hit this link.
Honestly I'd love to hear some of your opinions. Personally I thought there were a few iffy winners and some deserved a lot better than they got.
And, after last night, I want to win one of those shiny awards even more now. Whoever said it's all about the taking part, clearly didn't know what they were talking about.
