No More Awards Competitions for Leo Burnett Co.

In July, 1970, Leo Burnett declared it would no longer be entering awards competitions. Exec VP-Creative Services Howard Shank issued a company-wide memo saying that the agency funds that had gone to entering awards shows — running into the tens of thousands of dollars — would be diverted to more worthy causes, such as scholarships or on-the-job training for advertising hopefuls. The decision wasn’t a “sour grapes” reaction, as the agency continued to do well on the awards circuit. Rather, Mr. Shanks said, “We see an opportunity to put our contest-entering to a use that seems more timely and appropriate to this day and this society.” The agency, of course, eventually changed its tune. In 2014, it ranked as the No. 3 most awarded network in Ad Age’s Awards Report.

Whether they’re concocting kitchen etiquette for Electrolux or going wacky for Skol, Brazilian agency F/Nazca Saatchi & Saatchi always seems to keep us on our toes.

The latest effort from the agency for Honda is targeted as an anthemic, fist-raising short film promoting the client’s HR-V line via moment of “revolution” from those who were “in the trenches”: Martin Luther King, Woodstock hippies, a Hendrix homage, et cetera.

In a statement, F/Nazca president/general creative director Fabio Fernandes says:

“The film was designed to be as aesthetically beautiful, seductive, and as modern as the HR-V.  And it is as grandiose as Honda’s plans to revolutionize this category. This excellent production, produced by Killers and directed by Claudio Borreli, reproduces epic scenes by meticulously reconstructing each time period. The Woodstock scene and Martin Luther King’s march on Washington are so faithful to the actual events that they appear to be archive footage.”

Here’s an odd one from Sweden’s Forsman & Bodenfors, the self-described “most awarded agency in the world 2014.”

In what appears to be an attempt to “mash up” Bergman’s The Seventh Seal with Robert Wise’s The Sound of Music, F&B and actor Sean Buckley somehow manage to keep spirits light even while singing about potentially fatal childhood illnesses.

Since there is no God (as Bergman himself frequently reminded us), we have to rely on the United Nations to save our children from waterborne diseases.

No word on this effort from the anti-vaxxer community.
