Son of Dundee did not run as a TV ad in this country. And was created by a US agency. How does it qualify for this Australian only show?
It’s the Logies…. I wouldn’t lose any sleep over it.
It ran in the Australian broadcast of the NFL as well as the US.
It was an Australian client, with creative done by Australian’s (with the perspective of the US coming from Droga) and executed by an Australian production company with Australian talent other than Danny McBride.
dirty bird all the way
Invictus and Serena are the two most deserving. The others are standard ad-land gags selling product.
