With 2 more bronze lions in the categories film and interactive film, we end the week with 3 lions in total. The film lions both go to Telenet, the first for “Evi Naked”, the second for “Extras”, where we show how extras claim to be recognized in the street since the introduction of the sharp image of Telenet Digital tv.

The third bronze was won for a national radio campaign for Bongo giftboxes. In the commercial soap actor Herbert Flack plays the role of himself as an actor you can hire to open your x-mas presents.

Next to this, there were shortlists for De Lijn “nightbuses” in direct, Ché “Blowjob” in media and cyber, Spa “Barfight” in film, MTV “stayingalive.org” and Stallaert “ugliest building” in cyber.

We were already Belgium’s most awarded creative agency, but as of yesterday we’re also the agency with the most EFFIE awards from the last decade. Our three new awards take our grand total to 13 Belgian, 1 in The Netherlands and 1 European EFFIE. Proof that creative work built on consumer insights, strong ideas and credible promises results in stronger sales and even stronger brands. You can (re)discover all 15 cases below.

A first bronze shark was awarded to Belgacom “Kindersurpise”, a second to Compo “Bird”. The latter also won the Grand Prix for best Belgian entry at Kinsale. Sometimes it comes in handy to live in a small sized country.
