    Creative Circle results for November 2007

    The Creative Circle results for November 2007 are out and according to chairperson John Davenport, the judges, including himself, were “still getting the hang of the top-three-ads-go-through idea, and the thinking that these should be thought of as Ad of the Year finalists. Some of the judges expressed doubt about this system, but no matter which system we use, this seems to be the case!"

    Added Davenport, “A few of the categories were fairly thin, especially magazine. The TV category was probably the strongest, which was nice to see. Well done to King James for a great Steers campaign. Nice to see real TV ads for real clients winning. I particularly liked the one where soft serve ice cream gets sprayed all over the disappointed-looking little girl.”
