And has anyone seen it on tv?
I don’t stay up that late at night, 9.46.
I think the 90 ran in the Manly Daily, page 47.
I remember seeing it – once – when i just got home from the B and S Ball.
Where can we view the Wrigley ad now?
I saw the ad a couple of times.
Don’t think it got a massive run, but I did see it…. and no, it wasn’t in between 4am infomercials.
Well done Palace – keep my fingers crossed for you
Good to see DDB still smashing out those big ads for big clients.
Wrigleys.
Give me a fucking break.
Saatchis are on FI-RE. This could be massive haul.
I hate the words ‘haul’ and ‘bagged’ when referring to awards.
Just thought everyone would like to know that.
What happened to Continental Cup-a Soup?
What happened to Carlton Draught ‘Winkle’?
Oh that’s right – IT WAS SHIT.
Go Meerkats-these ones could slip well under the radar.
Carlton Draught never made it to air, so you could hardly enter it in film. Well, I guess you could in web film, but they’re not really designed for that format, and wouldn’t do so well I’d imagine.
Besides, I think the client would probably sack Clem’s arses if they snuck it into shows and it appeared all over the world on blogs and archives all over again. I’d think they’re a touch sensitive about that campaign over at Fosters.
Surprised that CHE’s animal torturing spot didn’t get shortlisted, thought it would. Everything else is fair enough although I never liked that Subaru spot. A very familiar idea that doesn’t communicate the driving experience at all, imo.

Haven’t you seen the Tourism Australia TV spot? It doesn’t get any bigger — you can still see it steaming.
Hello 2.35. Your bitterness amuses me.
Best,
