This year’s AWARD Chair of Judges, Leo ​Premutico,​ co-founder and Chief Creative Officer of Johannes Leonardo, New York, awarded his Chair’s Choice to Friendshit by ​GREYnJ UNITED​.

Says Premutico: “It takes more courage to make something simple than it does to make something complicated. More skill to rely on our own craft than lean on the latest technological innovations. Friendshit/Friendship is a marvellous reminder that as an industry we should never lose sight of the most important creative achievement – big and powerful human insights executed flawlessly. That will always be relevant.”

Recognising the most prolific of entrants, Creative Team of the Year was awarded to Lennie Galloway and Thomas Gledhill, FCB New Zealand – an award that considers those being credited across multiple campaigns that won Bronze, Silver or Gold (including craft awards if that award is directly applicable to their craft).

Says Saatchi & Saatchi Australia CCO Mike Spirkovski, Chair of AWARD: ​“Congratulations to our long and deserving list of finalists and winners, especially to Clemenger BBDO Sydney who were awarded the coveted Agency of the Year title, and to CHE Proximity’s AutoAds and BWM Dentsu’s ​Project Revoice​ who have been awarded for Best in Show.

“Congratulations also to F​riendshit ​by GREYnJ UNITED for being selected for the Chairs Choice award. This year a record number of 58 gold pencils have been awarded – a figure which bears testament to the outstanding level of talent in the Asia Pacific region”.
