McCann seems to have topped the global agency stakes at this year’s Webby Awards (it thinks it has anyway) with ten; spearheaded by McCann Melbourne’s ‘Dumb Ways To Die’ for the local Metro system. This was awarded the most Webbys for a single campaign, hardly surprising for a film that has garnered over 45m YouTube [...]

Last year WPP’s Sir Martin Sorrell objected to the votes cast in the Cannes Lions media category; claiming that his company’s efforts had been conspired against by, er, conspirators – chiefly Omnicom it seems. Last year’s media jury was chaired by OMD boss Mainardo de Nardis and Manning Gottlieb OMD won the Grand Prix for [...]
