COMMENTS FROM THE CHAIRPERSON – BEN WAGNER
An excellent turn out for a first time and long overdue category. An interesting and wide array of entry pieces totalling 53 entries from the first six months of this year (Jan – June 2010). Overall the conceptual thinking and idea generation was good, which is
reflected extremely well in the winning piece of work that takes a subject that most South African’s strongly identify with – slow bandwidth! This scenario was cleverly juxtaposed against a romantic situation that is normally filled with a high level of angst and creatively plays with the notion of waiting for a loading sequence.
Second spot also went to Mesh/Draftfcb who again demonstrated clever thinking, which again built an alliance with the user in demonstrating the value of the Vodacom offering.
Third spot was a four way tie between some great ideas and superb craft. A big step forward for digital and exciting times ahead for agencies and clients.
