I’ll get my coat too, the visual collision pun must be making a comeback.
How much longer are these spots going to be around the shows?
It’s making my vas deferens very angry.
Doo wah diddy diddy dum diddy doo.
Told you.
So where is Sapients’ follow up to best job? No surprise there.

Holy shit 11:34 that is eery!
I’ll get me coat.
What, BAMERCISE didn’t make it?!
well done chip and chad.
i will block neither of you…
Leo’s have taken down the video posted @ 11:34, citing copyright reasons. Rightly so, it was deplorably whore-ish.
I think the leo video was an absolutely perfect representation of the ad industry. Did it hit a bit too close to home for everyone?
Nice work to get a One Show Finalist for Suncorp Bank.
They should do a lip sinc video (apparently they are really in at the moment), and send it to the client to thank them for approving the work, .
I want to hear from Dumbo. What does Dumbo think?
Why are the Sweet Shop listed? There is no craft category in the ONE show Yet, they are credited as the agency in the listing? Who was the agency?
what was the Leo’s vid. Anyone else got other links?

The funny thing is I know people in New York and London who have already seen the leos video and have been in stitches about it. It is truly a sad, sad set of circumstances where an agency makes something like that. It’s even worse when they try and hide it, and pretend like it’s not who they are.
If only they would run that on GRUEN.
Note to the writers of ’30 Seconds”, series 2.
The Leo’s video and its withdrawl are the foundation stones of a great episode.
oh yes – to be a fly on that wall – when word got out the video had leaked….
I’m confused.
Is everyone upset about the Leo’s video, or upset it’s been taken down?
(And why is it being discussed here when we should be discussing how one of the most derivative and bland beer ads in history gets recognised almost purely because it comes from a certain agency – clearly not for non-existent results.)
As for the Leo’s vid, I just looked at it and thought it was funny. Hey, it’s a piss take. It’s showing they don’t take themselves too seriously – which is something far too many of our so-called creative agencies do far too much.
