Two Google campaigns alone count for 13 of the 29 finalists: Chrome Build and Front Row.

This is four more than the next most prolific agency Whybin/TBWA and 5 more than BMF.

Successful campaigns had to demonstrate creativity and effectiveness to impress the judges and the finalists were selected by a stellar cast from the marketing and advertising industry.

Says Nick Adams, director, One to One Marketing, Telstra: “The standard of entries this year was particularly high and the winners really demonstrated how they were driving real value for their organisations. The quality and rigour seen in this year’s entries brings to life how these industry leaders are pushing the boundary on highly effective marketing.”

Says David Whittle, managing director, MC Saatchi: “The standard was varied, but the best work was certainly world class.”
