CHEP Network has taken out Best of Show at the 2023 Brisbane Advertising and Design Club Awards for its campaign ‘The Jewellers’ for client Michael Hill Jewellers at the awards held on Saturday night. Michael Hill Jeweller was also named Client of the Year.
It completed a big night for CHEP Network who took home three gold, a silver and a bronze in addition to the Best of Show.
CHEP Network were awarded for its campaign work with Michael Hill Jeweller including tapping into the company’s heritage and recreating the true story behind the brand — a love affair that started in 1964 when Michael Hill met Christine.
Says Marcus Tesoriero, panel chair and chair of judges: “There was some really exciting work in contention for Best of Show, but ultimately we decided that this piece was in a class of its own. The level of craft was a feature the judges couldn’t stop talking about. It showed an obvious creative commitment from the client to take the brand to a new level.”

Well done Christy.
Some of the very best work and the smartest people in all of CHEP are in the northern outpost of Brisbane. This crew deserves great recognition and respect for their effort, energy and impact.
