-
Favourite local campaign that isn’t yours
Love from Land Rover – agile, clever, brave and real.
-
Favourite campaign that is yours
The De’Longhi MultiFry Challenge with Mediacom – What at first sounds like something hideous from Saturday morning TV is actually a finely crafted piece of content.
-
Favourite international campaign
Choose Beautiful for Dove – Yes, it’s been incredibly polarising but I have a soft spot for this series and get a bit emotional watching them. Based on the evidence I have seen, also spectacularly successful.
-
Least favourite campaign
Anything with pop-ups.
-
Your own biggest success
It’s a team game but the development of Dish across all platforms including the launch of the paywall has been pretty significant this year.

Favourite magazine/website/TV show/radio show/podcast/news service/app/song/other
It would be wrong to vote for one of our own so it would have to be The Spinoff – I was an early sceptic with respect to commercial sustainability but Duncan [Greive] is bloody talented and looks to be creating an editorial Noah’s ark.
