Good on ya Link.
Damien rules. He wrote ads inside hot air balloons while the great migration was taking place below. And now his long-lost brother Julian Horton is Where’s Wallying HIS way around the plains of Africa. Fuck awards. THAT is some cool shit.
WHO REALLY GIVES A SHIT?
he is a splendid chap…we once shared a sofa at channel 9 and i liked him very much…good job and congrats damian pity we didn’t get to work together.j
He looks like Sydney Suit.
Any man that can write an award winning ad while being stared down by a bull elephant gets my vote. Well done Linklater. Great news.
Well done Damo. Looking forward to seeing the work. It’s always a pleasure.
