The Creative Circle's best ads for November 2003

Comments by Sue Anderson (Chairperson) for November 2003 judging:

A panel filled with the Christmas spirit and thoughts of end-of-year parties, scored very generously.

NEWSPAPER
Clear winner. Debate over 3rd place. Only 1st & 2nd through to Ad of Year.

MAGAZINE
Top 3 scores very high. Nothing else came close.

OUTDOOR
After some especially high scoring, the panel decided none of the winners should go through to Ad of Year.

TELEVISION
Pretty easily decided as the scores reflect.

RADIO
What a pity Osram was entered as a campaign. "Gifts" was a clear favourite, but was let down by the other spots.
