Wellington Agency Scoops Top Ad Award
Wellington advertising agency, Clemenger BBDO, scooped the top award at one of the premier events on the New Zealand advertising calendar.
The agency's campaign for the TAB was named Best in Show in the ceremony at Auckland's Sheraton Hotel on Thursday night for the annual CAANZ Media Awards.
The awards are run by The Communication Agencies Association, and reward excellence in media planning and strategy for advertising campaigns.
CAANZ executive director Lynne Clifton says this year's winners showed ingenuity and imagination in creating new ways of using media for advertisers to reach consumers.
In the entry named Best in Show, Clemenger BBDO created a television segment called TAB Sports Desk that tied in with the TV3 Sports News, encouraging sports fans to take advantage of the latest news by taking a punt on upcoming events. The campaign meant creating ads at the last minute to tie in with the latest sports news.
