MADC Creative Showcase launches ‘Meet Grant’ film via Cummins&Partners and //Thirteen & Co
CB Exclusive – To promote the November 1 event, principal sponsor //Thirteen & Co and Cummins & Partners have created a film titled Meet Grant: The Only Person Designed to Survive Advertising.
The parody of Melbourne’s beloved and universally awarded work, ‘Meet Graham’ is supported by a poster series depicting spoofs of other famous Melbourne-born campaigns to support the theme of ‘You can’t beat the original. Melbourne’s original awards show is back.’
The film was directed by Armand de Saint-Salvy of //Thirteen & Co.
Says Adrian Bosich, MADC president: “The MADC Stars are a celebration of Melbourne’s originality and creativity. Whilst the new night will showcase the best Melbourne work of the year, the tone will have a relaxed, casual atmosphere.”
Says Chris Ellis, MADC: “Putting on parties for fancy advertising types with expensive tastes, is well… expensive. But thanks to our generous sponsors, tickets to this year’s party – which includes the MADC Stars Creative Showcase – are just $50.”
The November 1 party at Forester’s Hall, Collingwood is also presented by Mr Fox and Bang Bang Studios. For tickets visit madc.com.au/events.

I have to say…i like this a lot.
I also have to say..the work from these guys lately is really really good. The Specsavers bit, Movember, Stop The Horror, and now this.
Quite an impressive suite.

Ok…now shoot me down!!
Thank fuck it’s being held north of the river.
Southside has been done to death for advertising events.
And good craic on the promo video. Sobbing in the shower is my go to for finding 360 degree funnel channeling platform ideas.
Very funny. Hats off.
‘Facebook’ Lol.
Nice one Bants!
I laughed! Then I cried.
Too true, and bloody well done guys.
This is so bloody good. Hats off to the director Armand de Saint-Salvy, Thirteen & Co and the creatives. Well done.
This is the same idea as the 1980’s anti-advertiser commercial ‘Natural Born Wanker.’
Metal forever.
