Clemenger BBDO and Bonds' 'The Boys' campaign recognised as courageous, while Neil Lawrence honoured
oOh! Media’s Brendon Cook took home the ADMA Marketer of the Year trophy and Affinity’s Luke Brown the Jon Clark Award for Outstanding Contribution at this year’s ADMA Creativity & Effectiveness Awards.
Cook, who is CEO of the out-of-home company, told the more than 600 attendees that it was both an exciting and challenge time to be a marketer as the pace of change accelerates.
“If you don’t love disruption, you should not be in marketing,” he said during his speech.
Also on the list of winners of this year’s Excellence Awards were WiTH Collective’s Steve Coll, who was awarded ADMA Creative of the Year, HIF’s Maureen Teague, who was recognised with the ADMA Young Marketer of the Year award, and 303 MullenLowe’s Melissa Hawkett, who was honoured as ADMA Young Creative of the Year.
Inducted into ADMA’s Hall of Fame was the legendary Neil Lawrence, one of Australia’s top creative directors, who passed away in 2015 aged 60 in a diving accident. Lawrence is best known for coining the slogan 'Kevin 07' work, along with the latest Qantas 'Welcome Home' campaign, but had also more recently branched out into documentaries and was honoured for his work on Kaching!, an investigation into the poker machine industry.
On the campaign and agency front, Clemenger BBDO Melbourne and TWBA Melbourne both received multiple AC&E awards for their efforts. Clemenger received the Grand Prix, Most Courageous Client, Out-of-Home, Data-Driven Mail and Branded Content awards for its work with Pacific Brands/Bonds and Mercedes-Benz Australia. Bonds’ ‘The Boys’ campaign was also the most recognised on the night.
TWBA meanwhile, was Integrated Campaign, Broadcast and PR categories for its work on ANZ’s Continued Push for an Equal Future campaign.
This year’s awards are the first to be audited by the association’s new audit committee, and ADMA CEO, Jodie Sangster, stressed only agencies that could verify their results went through to the final round of judging.
“The AC&E Awards matter to clients and agencies because they’re the only awards in Australia that recognise exceptional creativity and solid business results in equal proposition, not as separate specialisations,”she said. “Together, they have the power to transform a business as the winners tonight have demonstrated.”

A study published in The Harvard Business Review found the time spent in collaborative activities at work has increased by over 50 per cent in the past two decades. Larger projects; complicated problems; tighter timeframes: These require bigger teams with specialised skillsets and diverse backgrounds, often dispersed globally.
In 2018, only 21 per cent of customers believed that banks in general had their customers best interests at heart and behave ethically. Only 26 per cent believed that banks will keep their promises; views cemented further following the Hayne Financial Services Royal Commission.
