The list of Finalists has been announced in the lead-up to the highly anticipated 43rd Annual AXIS Awards show, which celebrates the most creative and innovative of advertising in Aotearoa. Colenso BBDO leads the agency pack with 67 finalists, followed by Special with 32 finalists, DDB Aotearoa with 31 finalists, Motion Sickness with 30 and FCB New Zealand with 24.
This year’s theme is all about celebrating the most iconic kiwi advertising campaigns that have won AXIS awards in the past and recognising the campaigns from the past 12 months that are worthy of joining them. Convenor of judges, Leisa Wall, was blown away by the quality of entries this year, saying “the calibre of entries this year was truly outstanding, and there are definitely some entries from this year that will go down in history”.
The annual awards show will take place at Shed10 on March 30th, and it promises to be a night to remember. Host for the evening is the talented Anika Moa, and the sensational Flamingo Pier DJ is set for the after party.
There’s also got an impressive line-up of world-class speakers for the relaunch of AXIS Speaks.
