The theme for this year’s MADC Awards is based on the debate and blog feedback that seems to follow the creation of great work. Sothe campaign has real comments taken from the Campaign Brief Blog, allcontributed under the guise of ‘Anonymous’. Accordingly, the MADC wouldlike to thank 6:09, 8:23, 11:17 and all the other brave contributorsfor providing the content for this campaign.

MADC President Richard Ralphsmith said that whilst the awards themepokes fun at the negative comments we’ve all seen and read, it isreally about celebrating the positives of the industry: “Great ideassilence the critics. The MADC Awards recognise the people behind trulygreat ideas like these,” says Ralphsmith.
