Awards are in the air at moment - today, we bring you news from both the 2025 Effies, run by the Comms Council and Lumo's Pixel Awards. At the Effies, the three Executive Awards went to Motion Sickness, Special and dentsu. The Pixels, which celebrates creativity and innovation in digital out of home advertising, saw DDB Aotearoa's Jack Wadham and Karla Tarr take home the Industry Award for work done with Cloudy Bay.
Saatchi & Saatchi NZ is saying goodbye to its home of thirty years on The Strand in Auckland's Parnell as it prepares to move to Publicis Groupe's connected campus on Sales Street. It bid the building farewell with a vibrant celebration that took a trip through the history books to look back on all the creativity that had flourished there.
There's lots more news on the site, including Ensemble's closing down announcement. The digital fashion and lifestyle publication has been running for five years by former Fashion Quarterly editor Zoe Walker-Ahwa and fashion, beauty and marketing expert Rebecca Wadey. Finally, MediaWorks has announced it will expand the Breeze radio station to include the Breeze Classic, which will focus on classic hits from the 60s, 70s and 80s.
