Advertising and Design Club of Canada Directions 2008 Student Award.. for me ?!

20 11 2008

Funky.

Earlier this year, when I took Interactive Media from Centennial College, I applied to the ADCC (theadcc.ca) student competition. The Club recognizes all our fellow Canadian advertisers, art directors, copywriters, innovators, their brave clients, and other cool dudes. As the part of their annual awards they have a student competition, usually with a challenges like “relaunch Bell Canada brand” (this year).

Kind of “Can you do better than Zulu Alpha Kilo, Leo Burnett and 3 other agencies put together ?”..

Bett-er

It was before Bell relaunched with all these Ers, they still had beavers and apparently were not satisfied with them. I thought beavers were cute.

So for the competition I came up with rather silly campaign with the dear old Alexander Graham Bell him self a center of all ads. Its not a complex concept, very straight forward, “it’s our ground” – not that literary though, “it’s our roots”, “innovation, creation, kill degradashon and stagnaaaashon”, and turned the whole thing into the microsite.
currently unavailable due to unpaid hosting ;P

So the awards happened few days ago, where I got the Silver. But to my great horror I was called on the stage and spoke some stupid stuff for 5 minutes without even thanking anyone. Lol.

But practice makes perfect. You know..

For now just congratulate me ! :}
