McCann Melbourne is basking in D&AD glory this week, having scored an Australia all-time record nine Nominations for its Metro Trains ‘Dumb Ways to Die’ campaign.

“All of us at McCann couldn’t be happier with what’s gone on at D&AD this week,” national ECD John Mescall (below) told Campaign Brief. “I don’t think there’s any question that D&AD is the toughest, purest show in the world and just getting in book is a major achievement. So to have the most nominated campaign in the world at D&AD 2013 is a huge honour for us.

“I’m particularly thrilled for our great client in Metro, our amazing suits who did a brilliant job on this campaign, and the agency at large. Because while not everyone appears on campaign credits, I think we all know that you only do really good work as an agency when you’ve got a great team across the board: which we absolutely do.”
