CategorySeptember 2011 chair comments
GeneralOverall, it was a pretty average month, with two categories standing above the rest.
PrintIt was nice to see quite a lot of work in the print category for a change. The standard was also better than we'd seen for a while, with some deft art direction and some strong ideas.
Ambient/outdoorOutdoor was undersubscribed, with only two pieces going through ad of the year.
TV/cinemaIt was also a strong and well-populated month for television and film, with the ubiquitously beautifully produced new Allan Gray epic leading the pack, and an ace (gory) spoof washing powder ad, for The Walking Dead, coming in second place.
