Winners @OMA_Australia Q2 2020 Creative Collection
The Australian Outdoor Media Association (OMA) has today announced the winners of its Q2, 2020 Creative Collection competition.
OMA CEO Charmaine Moldrich told us “The OMA’s quarter two 2020 Creative Collection showcased two distinct campaign styles. This led to a robust debate over the value of platitudes versus classic branding. The winning campaigns reflect the judges’ opinion that being true to your brand is key, and that brands that make a difference in times like this must go beyond the clichés. This was particularly true of Broadsheet’s Restaurant Live Lists which won the quarter two Grand Prix, for its consistent branding while making a difference to independent restaurants by promoting their menus to diners.”
“I was drawn to the National Gallery of Australia’s Know My Name campaign which brought female Australian artists from the gallery’s collection to the street. Using digital signs the campaign featured the work of 45 artists.”
“The judges were treated to a great selection of work in quarter two, when Out of Home advertising took a back seat. What was wonderful to see was work that was clear, simple and purposeful; engaging audiences using brand, humour and wit – all the things OOH advertising can bring to the fore in any campaign”.
Launched in 2013, the Creative Collection celebrates the big, bold, and audacious canvas that is Out of Home by recognising exceptional campaigns each quarter.
Campaigns are judged across the following categories:
- Big, Bold, and Bright
- Best Use of Multi-Format
- Best Use of Digital
- Innovation in Out of Home
Q2 2020 attracted 19 submissions from OMA members including: Bishopp Outdoor Advertising, JCDecaux, oOh!media, and QMS Media.
Guest judges included:
- Oliver Newton, National Sales Director, JCDecaux
- Thomas Tearle, General Manager, Isobar
- Russ Tucker, Executive Creative Director, TBWA Sydney
- Elly Whitehouse, Senior Graphic Designer, Bishopp Outdoor Advertising
“I want a campaign to draw me in and keep me there. Menulog did just that, using humour so delightfully, in a way to engage with out and about commuters to re-enforce the current ‘new normal’. I loved that they used food they deliver to measure physical distancing while maintaining their distinctive branding,” said Oliver Newton, National Sales Director, JCDecaux.
