are there any other agencies in adelaide?
Nobody else worth mentioning for sure.
Congratulations Clems and Jam.
Good to see there are a couple of agencies in Adelaide pushing the creative envelope.
Plenty of other good results too, Voice (4), Parallax (4), Fusion (3) and Resin (3) and probably others. The list of individuals does make it hard to work out which companies did well, agency or studio should also be included. IMO its a flaw in the way the awards are forced to be entered by individuals. It’s pretty rare in any discipline of ideas or craft that it is tied back to one individual. Standard was good this year and good to see plenty of work from outside Adelaide being done by Adelaide companies.
Obviously the judges got the Gold Chair wrong again.
4:28 Huh? Can’t see anyone’s complained about it here or on the night.
4:50 maybe you weren’t sitting at the right table then!
Don’t think it’s necessarily the best Adelaide had to offer for 2010.
