Ogilvy Australia & DDB Sydney Sweep Up At Ad Star Awards

Ogilvy Australia & DDB Sydney Sweep Up At Ad Star Awards

AD STARS has announced this year’s Grand Prix, Gold, Silver and Bronze winners, which were chosen from 20,028 entries from 60 countries.

11 Grand Prix trophies were awarded to 9 creative companies, with Ogilvy Australia taking out a Grand Prix in the mobile and social & influencer categories for its ‘KFC Secret Menu’ for Yum! work.

On the KFC Secret Menu mobile campaign, Sascha Kuntze, Chief Creative Officer, BBH Singapore said: “This campaign is such a fresh way to take something so mundane as a delivery app, and play with internet culture to invite people to find something. I know how hard it is for any restaurant, especially a QSR (quick service restaurant), to change their product. This stood out because it was driving business, it was cheeky, gives people a reason to talk about you and lasts longer than one day or one week of PR.”

Alt.vfx also won a Grand Prix in the film category for its Dinosaur Vs Unicorn work for AA Insurance.
