Silver Pencil, Silver Lion, Saatchi & Saatchi New Directors' Showcase for Giant Films' Robin Goode

Giant Films' director Robin Goode has achieved the accolade most commercial directors' dream of - recognition by the international awards industry's two toughest award shows, the D&AD Awards and the Cannes Lion International Festival.
To top it, Robin was selected as one of 20 directors worldwide for the Saatchi & Saatchi 21st Annual New Directors' Showcase at the Cannes Lion International Festival.

Robin Goode's three-time win was for his hard-hitting Drive Dry Responsible Drinking "Love to Meet You" campaign.

"With the Drive Dry commercial, I knew the story had to be told simply, but compellingly. It's very humbling to be recognised early on." - Robin Goode

The ad, conceptualised by FoxP2, picked up a Silver Pencil Winner at this year's D&AD awards. The 45-second spot was the only South African TV ad nominated for a pencil and was also the only TV ad to be nominated globally in the over forty second category.

Following on from the D&AD win, Drive Dry received a prestigious Silver Lion in the TV Health Safety category at the 58th Annual Cannes Lion International Festival held this week at the Palais du Festival in Cannes.

Drive Dry was also named SA Digital Ad Of The Year by the Creative Circle for its viral category.
