CHE Proximity takes out Best in Show at 2018 Caples Awards plus 6 Gold, 9 Silver and 4 Bronze
CHE Proximity has taken out Best in Show at the 2018 Caples Awards for carsales.com.au “Auto Ads”. Celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2018, The Caples Awards brought together 22 judges from around the world – Australia, Belgium, Spain, South Africa, Switzerland, the UK and the USA.
Under the presidency of Emma de la Fosse, chief creative officer at Ogilvy Group UK, the jury awarded 17 Gold, 20 Silver and 68 Bronze awards.
CHE Proximity scored a Best in Show along with six Gold statues, nine Silver and four Bronze. Clemenger BBDO Melbourne scored three Bronze statues, Edge Agency Sydney picked up two Bronze and Clemenger BBDO Brisbane and BMF Sydney scored one Bronze apiece.
Best in Show
The jury was unanimous in awarding Best in Show to CHE Proximity Australia for carsales.com.au “Auto Ads”.
They wanted it noted that this campaign not only has exceptional results, driving both sales of cars and sales of advertising in the publication but has helped strengthen the brand’s reputation. Moreover, this is an inspiring example of how Programmatic can be used imaginatively to remarket a different, fresh and funny ad to potential car-buyers time after time.
Andi Emerson award
The Andi Emerson Award, given to the individual who has contributed most to creativity in response-driven advertising, is Aussie expat David Droga, founder and chairman of Droga5.
Says de la Fosse: “When David was in London, as executive creative director at Saatchi & Saatchi, he really made an impression on me then as the first creative leader to break down the walls between so-called above-the-line and below-the-line communications, both literally and physically. Since then he has gone on to build an agency that is obsessed not with channels but with finding brilliantly effective solutions for clients’ problems.”
