Don't chicken out of the Loeries

30 Sep 2010

Nando's is planning a stir at this year's Loeries by singling out some of the movers and shakers in the ad world to get the old rivalry and gees going. A selection of messages, which name and shame some of the industry's players, will be strategically placed in and around the venues earmarked for this year's celebrations. [gallery]
