British Arrows Hand Out Their 2014 Awards
This week saw the UK awards show hand out its glittery arrows to the best in the commercial scene.
Thursday night saw the prestigious British Arrows Awards celebrate the best in British television, online, outdoor and cinema advertising talent over the past year. The ceremony took place in typical style, with the audience of many of the industry's brightest being kept entertained by tuxedo-clad comedian host Jack Whitehall.
There were a few repeat-offenders and repeat-collaborators amongst the winners. These included agency adam&eveDDB and production company Outsider together sweeping up the impressive 'Commercial of the Year' prize, with Outsider also picking up 'Production Company of the Year' and adam&eveDDB taking 'Agency of the Year' (pictured above). AMVBBDO also took home a number of gold awards in several categories, and directors Simon Ratigan, James Rouse, Kevin MacDonald and Smith & Foulkes were each able to put a few arrows in their quivers.
Commercial of the Year: Marmite 'Rescue'
Commemorating the event Robert Campbell, chairman of the British Arrows, said; "The Arrows are a special and wonderful event, and 2014 has been another record year, with 618 entries, which were painstakingly whittled down to 16 Gold and 47 Silver winners. A massive thanks goes to Kim Papworth for doing a fantastic job of heading up this year's Jury. And thanks also go to the 21 Jury members, who gave up so much of their time and showed great passion and insight. They spent three long days in careful debate and deliberation. The result, I am sure you will agree, is a brilliant representation of the last year's work."
To this, British Arrows Juror Kim Papworth added: "The British Arrows celebrate that wonderful thing that happens when a great client, a great agency and a great production company get together; the stars line up and they make something really special."
