Clemenger BBDO Melbourne’s Bonds ‘The Boys’ outdoor takes out OMA Creative Collection Q2

Clemenger BBDO, Melbourne has taken out Best Creative Execution at the Outdoor Media Association’s Creative Collection competition for Q2 2016 for Bonds ‘The Boys’.

Run quarterly by the OMA, the Creative Collection competition recognises and celebrates the most creative and innovative Out-of-Home (OOH) campaigns. Launched in 2013, the competition continues to gain momentum, with winners appearing in the biennial publication OPEN – an anthology of Outdoor creative from Australia and around the world.

Campaigns are judged across the following categories:

  *   Best creative execution

  *   Best traditional use of the OOH medium

  *   Best use of a special build

  *   Best use of technology/innovation

The Q2 competition attracted 45 submissions from OMA members including Adshel, APN Outdoor, Executive Channel Network, goa, JCDecaux, oOh!media, QMS Media and TorchMedia.

Guest judges included Jon Kelly, Creative Director – iris Sydney; Charles Parry-Okeden, CEO – Executive Channel Network and Michaela Chan, Chief Marketing Officer – oOh!media.

Says  Kelly: “OOH holds a unique power as a culture shaper. It tells people what is important. Being big, visible and semi-permanent, it by default, becomes reputable and authoritative. That’s why it was great to see the #CreateWelcome campaign in Queensland using OOH to make such a big statement. One that debatably, no other media could achieve.”
