"Winning the ‘Best of Show’ at ADFEST is a great result for everyone at Ace Saatchi & Saatchi. There is a real collective push here now to be a world-class agency that does world-class work, and to win the top prize and bunch of silver and bronze with it at a regional show like ADFEST, is a nice sign that we are on our way," Ace Saatchi & Saatchi ECD Andrew Petch told adobo.
The agency also won two Silvers in the Outdoor Lotus for "Outdoor Essentials", as well as a Bronze and a Silver in Print Craft for its "Monsters City" ads, all for The North Face.
Although it was four times the finalist for the Boysen Flowers series, TBWASantiago Mangada Puno but did not pick up any Lotuses for the campaign. Outdoor Lotus jury member and TBWA Managing Partner/ECD Melvin Mangada will not leave Tokyo empty-handed, however. The dog companionship awareness spot "Good Fight" for Ayala Land and PAWS merited a Bronze Lotus in the Film category.
