The Guardian in the UK has compiled a list of their favourite British ads of the noughties, most of them true classics that stand up to almost any decade prior. CB will publish our Top 10 Aussie ads/campaigns of the noughties next week, so if you have suggestions, let us know.

Paul Silburn is responsible for at least three of them. He’s the real deal. I consider myself lucky to have had him as my boss in the UK. Glad to see that he’s found his place at Saatchis.

To the muppets who are harping on with “it said British” (yes you, 12:33 and 12:47), I suggest you actually read past the headline.

Fair cop, 2.41. But that doesn’t completely clear you of being a nutmeg.

What about the ten biggest let downs of the decade?
i’ll start…
Mike O @ Clems Melb
VB The regulars.
DDB Sydney’s Scam ads that looked like big posters but ran as (very small) small space ads.
My top ten for TV ads people outside the industry saw:
Lemon Ruski – 2 second blips (at the time, groundbreaking)
Virgin – Ming Mong
Pure Blonde – both campaigns
Carlton Dry Dream
Canon Rodeo
Schweppes Burst
Not Happy Jan – now in the vernacular
Tongue Ad
And of course: The Big Ad.
Top 5 Integrated:
Jason Donovan

Top 5 local Australian ECDs this decade

4. Warren Brown
5. Andrew Tinning
Top 5 expat Aussie ECDs
1. Matt Keon
2. David Droga
3. Leo Premutico
4. Ben Nott
5. Barack Obama
C’mon! Guy Rooke has to feature in that list. He’s the real deal.
Guy Rooke is not an ECD, and has been around a relatively short time compared to the rest of them.
CarltonDraught – Big Ad

Pete, NAB Climb Every Mountain was meaningless twaddle. Shallow, superficial sloganeering. Which just proves that one person’s gold is another person’s shit.
Sorry you didn’t like. I had great fun making it and so it holds a place in my decade. How bout, All Bran: Tall Jan? That was a great weekend. I loved making that one too!

Fuck off Boags was up with the best of the decade.
Even Carlton’s ‘Made from beer’ shat all over it.
Yes best of last two years, same with Back, but not the decade.
