The commercial “barfight” for Spa Barisart won this year’s grand prix at the Kinsale shark awards. It was the only grand prix allotted in tv. The commercial, which was shot completely under water, also got a golden shark in the category non alcoholic drinks.

And there were more reasons to celebrate. De Lijn “Pinguins” was awarded a silver shark for best animation, Tabasco “Streaker” got shortlisted.

A very sparkling result calling for something very sparkling to drink.

Duval Guillaume has won no less than 6 trophees at this year’s Shark Advertising Awards. The Shark Awards are a top creative advertising festival held yearly in Kinsale, Ireland.

The jury awarded A Blind Call for League of the Blind with a Gold Special Jury Award, honoring an idea “that exceeds any of the standard categories”. Bazooka’s Airbag ad won Gold in both Outdoor and Print. The Duel commercial for Sporza won Silver. And last but not least, the Spamfilters campaign we created for Ooops IT management won 2 awards for Best Copywriting: Silver for “Horny Housewives” and Bronze for “Tanzania”.

At Duval Guillaume we like animals. In June 2007 Duval Guillaume Brussels won 3 lions in Cannes. They were then joined by 3 sharks last month at the Creative Advertising Festival in Kinsale, Ireland. We are now considering starting a zoo.

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.
