Colenso BBDO and Ogilvy score three each for NZ in Cannes Outdoor Lions; disappointment for Australia with only four finalists making the cut

Colenso BBDO Auckland and Ogilvy New Zealand both scored three finalists at the shortlist stage of the Cannes Lions Outdoor category.

Colenso’s three finalists were for Multiple Sclerosis, while two of Ogilvy’s three were for Road Safe Hawkes Bay, the other for Watakere Council.

New Zealand has six shortlists, two more than the disappointing effort by Australian agencies with only four: one each for Leo Burnett Sydney for Bundy, Clemenger BBDO Melbourne for CUB ‘Magnatron’, JWT Sydney for Japan Earthquake Appeal and The Marketing Store Sydney for Diageo Australia.
