The second Creative Planning Awards organised by the Account Planning
Group were even more successful than the first. The awards allow account
planners to demonstrate how, at its best, planning can inform and
inspire great creative work. This year, we had an increase in papers
entered to 87 from 21 major advertising agencies. It is now the largest
planning contest of any kind in the UK.
The 87 entries, all carefully prepared and intriguing cases, were
whittled down to a shortlist of 27 by a panel of planning directors
chaired by Jackie Boulter of Abbott Mead Vickers BBDO. The authors then
presented their cases orally to a multi-disciplinary panel of judges.
The winners, presented here, are outstanding examples of account
planning, with a clear link to excellent advertising.
The APG would like to thank the UK advertising community for its
continued support, the outstanding work of the shortlisting panel and
jury, and the sponsors who have helped make these awards a resounding
success.
