Transparency wins the day for TBWA\ in first round of News Works Agency League

WhybinTBWA has taken out News Works NZ’s April
Newspaper Ad of the Month with its ‘Transparent Newspaper’ ad to showcase Mercury
Energy’s new GEM product
. And, in the first month of the new Agency League competition, it means the agency picks up five points and goes to the top of the table. 

The judges—Dave Nash, Sugar & Partners; Iain MacMillan, Special Group; and Tom Paine, Y&R—said it was down to “sheer commitment of the
media space and the relevance to the media, with nice little extra touches of
running ads within the paper linking back. And they made it funny as well”. 

One bonus point was given to Colenso BBDO for the Anchor
‘Taste the Difference’ wrap, and to Ogilvy for the Purina Mighty Dog ‘Shiny
Coat’ ad.

WhybinTBWA beat Colenso BBDO, watch the video below.

As well as the points towards the Agency League, the winning creative
team will also receive $250 cash and a framed copy of the ad. As well as now being a finalist
in the 2013/14 $10,000 Newspaper Ad of Year competition, the ad is entered by
News Works NZ into the 2014 Axis Awards. Any ad that’s run in any newspaper
around the country is eligible to enter the competition. To enter your ad for
