More metal for Pedigree. They are great films and well deserved.
Really do dominate in AU & NZ, don’t they.
BBDO group dominates again. Well done.
3 great ideas, 300 awards!
BBDO dominate because no-one else from this part of the world bothers to enter the Clios anymore. BBDO continue to chase the old-fashioned Big Won and Gunn rankings…
….gonna hate. See above.
