Grand Prix.
ASB
‘Like Loan’ was also recognised with Gold and Silver digital gongs at the Direct
Marketing Awards in February.
These accolades
follow Saatchi & Saatchi’s host of awards at AXIS, where they won 3 Golds, 2 Silvers and 5 Bronzes for TUI, ASB and
L&P.
Saatchi
& Saatchi New Zealand’s CEO Nicky Bell said: “This ongoing recognition is a fantastic testament to
the potency of these campaigns. We’re especially proud that our winning campaigns are
ones that successfully tackled big business challenges and generated real
commercial results. Winning across a breadth of categories - social, digital,
PR, viral and experiential - is also great evidence of our evolution as an
agency.”
Antonio Navas, Saatchi & Saatchi New Zealand’s ECD
said: “I don’t know if I am allowed to quote Shakespeare on a
press release, but “If music be the food of love, play on” and by all means
don’t let it die. I am so very proud of the teams that continue to play on that
beautiful music that feeds all of our creative souls. We have a case of
Polyphagia and we can’t stop.”
