FCB’s Mitre 10 Sandpit just keeps on wowing viewers – over six years after its creation in 2008. This month (January), after yet another short absence, it’s back on the M+AD Colmar Brunton Top 10 chart.
Pak n’Save Stickmen (from the same agency) is another ad that is retaining its power. It’s been around for five years – and this time around it’s finally taken the top spot.
