AdReview Awards 2003 - Winners
The awards were presented at the launch of "Tony Koenderman's AdReview", a new annual published in association with Finance Week, and in an Afrikaans version with Finansies & Tegniek. Its aim is to provide a comprehensive source document for the advertising and marketing industry.
The top two trophies, the Pinnacle Award for the overall Agency of the Year, and The Big Idea Award went to TBWA Hunt Lascaris.
The Agency of the Year was chosen for its ability to combine billings growth, creative achievement and business development. TBWA Hunt Lascaris was the country's leading winner of creative awards last year, and the group won an astonishing amount of new business. The agency also impressed by its implementation and refinement of a new strategy of the TBWA global network. This strategy combines a methodology called "disruption" (a way of breaking away from convention to produce new creative ideas), and a technique called "connections planning" which expresses the idea across a number of different communications channels.
These methodologies were used to develop the Sea Harvest campaign, which builds on the real-life story of the urbanization of the penguins of Boulders Beach, Cape Town.
Around this the agency has spun a whimsical myth about a bunch of renegade penguins who will do anything to get their flippers on a pack of Sea Harvest products.
The Pinnacle Award was sponsored by Media24 Magazines, and The Big Idea was sponsored by Paarl Web.
