Australia failed to trouble the scorers in the digital craft category, but the grand prix went to Isobar New York/Viacom New York for their work Aeronaut VR on behalf of William Patrick Corgan.

There was no love for Australia in the industry craft section either, which saw the grand prix go to Ogilvy Chicago for Ali on behalf of SC Johnson’s Kiwi Shoe Care.
