Ad panel show Gruen takes out Most Outstanding Entertainment Programme at 58th Logie Awards

Gruen, the ABC’s mega successful advertising panel show, picked up the Logie for Most Outstanding Entertainment Programme at the 58th Logie Awards, presented last night at the Crown Palladium in Melbourne.

Accepting the award were panelists Todd Sampson (left), the non-executive chairman of Leo Burnett Australia and Russel Howcroft (above right), the executive GM of Network 10 and former CEO Australia/NZ of Y&R Brands.

Gruen, orginally named The Gruen Transfer, first went to air in 2008, produced by Andrew Denton’s production company Zapruder’s Other Films. In 2011 Denton created a ‘super indie’ production company by merging Zapruder with Cordell Jigsaw to form Cordell Jigsaw Zapruder. In June 2013 Denton sold his share in the company to pursue other creative interests.
