“We should all be pretty proud that agencies from our side of the world have such a disproportionate amount of shortlists compared to our country and market size. It’s more proof that the best of agencies from here, are really the best from anywhere,” says Tony Bradbourne of Special.
Sam Stuchbury of Motion Sickness shares, “To have two kiwi agencies out of 8 global finalists, the most of any country – is a pretty breakthrough moment for NZ creativity. It’s incredible to reflect back on what we achieved last year with only 20 people. We’re only just getting started, and it feels pretty exciting.”
