DB Export’s ‘The Wine is Over’ campaign by Colenso BBDO has won plenty of fans–and a few overly serious, wine-loving detractors. And after Bevan claimed the NAB Newspaper ad of the month title in March, his old mate Sean has taken a win in the May round.
The May judges were James Tucker, Colenso BBDO; Nick Smith, DraftFCB; Connan James, WhybinTBWA; and Iain MacMillan from Special Group. And James commented: “I love this work. I love the strategy, the photography, the wry sense of humour, the engaging copy.”
