Winning Ads

So I spent the weekend at the loerie awards. It is the one time a year Margate comes alive cause its invaded by creatives from all over south Africa.
I always look forward to this weekend and this year didn’t disappoint. I have been sleeping for past 24 hours and I’m still not fully recovered.

At the Sunday night pre drinks party Lira entertained the crowd, I must say she is getting better and better.

HHP came on stage and only sang one song but it was great, he even got Haley on stage to Dance. That was my highlight of the evening. Mafikizolo ended the show and no one was feeling them – shame.

To see all the Ads that won awards check out this link.

Which are yours?
Do you think they deserved to win?

Hey Ngwana...

Can't believe the Cell C/Zola 7 ad won anything...eish that list's a bit complicated for me but that's the only thing that stood out

Go to blogs, upload images and then select and add the pics u want. Then in edit mode, click on that button that looks like a mountain with the sun rising behind it and select your pics (u'll have to browse the server to find the uploaded pics), then add and arrange as you wish.

uh uh looks complicated only for the avdertising gurus hi hi , maybe you can select the ads and give them common (simpler)descriptions and we'll be able to say bravo or whether they didnt deserve to win...whadayathink ngwana

Loeries are the most prestigious Advertising awards founded in the 1970's, Sponono. TV, radio, print and all kinds of media.

The 2007 awards were this past weekend, and they sucked.

I am flabbergasted!! Phela if it won Gold then the other ads in whatever category this was must have been poor, was it the Cell C talk for free on weekends, perhaps?
