Colenso BBDO's 'SelfieSTIX' Receives Commendation at LBB's Immortal Awards
Four
projects have been crowned Immortal at global advertising award, The
Immortal Awards. The winners were decided during a live judging session,
held at The Mill in New York, by a world-class panel of jurors on 2nd
November.
The
Immortal Awards were launched to challenge the way our industry
celebrates and benchmarks the talent in this business. By making the
award free-to-enter for members of Little Black Book and limiting each
company to a maximum of five entries, work from across the globe has
been judged on a level playing field. 472 company offices from 35
different countries submitted a total of 672 entries into the award.
Says Matt Cooper, founder of Little Black Book and The Immortal Awards: "The business of advertising is changing but the way we benchmark our work has stayed relatively similar for decades. We created this show to celebrate creativity and to continue to provide both our members and our readership base with everything they need to know about the creative industries globally. The Immortal Awards and our league table are the final pieces to this puzzle, allowing everyone to know who is making the best work in the world."
Chairman of LBB, Sir John Hegarty, inspired the show's unique model, which carries zero tolerance for scam ads. Members of Little Black Book were invited to enter up to a maximum of five ads or campaigns into the show, for free. The results of this year's award show now power a League Table of Creativity that ranks all LBB members and will continue to do so year-on-year.
Whilst New Zealand has not received any winners, Colenso BBDO has been awarded a Commendation for being exceptional in its

Says Paul
Monan, director of the Awards: "The quality of work that made the
shortlist was incredibly high, and our jury was seriously demanding when
it came down to defining which work was truly Immortal. The creative
heads, who deliberated and debated the work, are some of the very best
in the business and they've set the standard for years to come! A huge
congratulations to every one of the many companies involved in the four
projects that won an Immortal award."
