Am I the only person that thinks these awards are more about an increasingly irrelevant publicaton trying to cling onto it's pivotal status by playing kingmaker?

No, you're not the only one. Wonder what clever twist they'll find for my surname. After all, that's a much better response than answering back on the actual issue.

Am I the only one who thinks advertising is here to increase sales. Not just chatter in the industry

ha ha go on campaign, don't take no shit! course gorilla was ad of the year and fallon agency of the year, unless anyones got any better ideas?
Campaign Magazine - 14 December 2007
Right. Time to be serious. The Agency of the Year awards are about celebrating the best in class and providing editorial that readers find interesting. Kingmaking has nothing to do with it. Never has. The choices are read and analysed feverishly by the several thousand readers who choose to part with hard-earned cash every week to discover what we think.
Regarding "gorilla". There was two-thirds of a page devoted to the ad in the FT earlier this week, mostly about how the ad had turned round Cadbury's fortunes. That's an awful lot of UK chief exectives been presented with a case where brave advertising had led to business success.

Also Rambleton - if our publication is so irrelevant why did the Metro devote their entire page three to one of the lists from our final issue and call us "The industry bible"?

'hard-earned cash' probably put on company expenses. but im on your side. go campaign

Campaign is the industry magazine so why shouldn't it give its accolades to the work that most excites the industry? Agencies that create the ads that increase sales will surely reap their rewards from a happy client.

Campaign is right. It is only right and proper that it should pass judgement on the best in class. And none more so than Campaign. It has been our industry magazine for decades and is unrivalled in its authority.
