NYC comes to Abbotsford, NSW

Our very own Tom Markham is one of only three Australians selected to judge the Innovative Advertising category at the New York Festivals. After a wild night celebrating at The Ivy, Tom was slightly crestfallen to discover that he would not be jetting across the Pacific in a shiny new Airbus A380. Instead, he will be judging online from his cramped living room in Abbotsford.

Tom is now eating pastrami on rye three times a day and playing old Lou Reed albums to psych himself up to watch 250 marketing case studies. Interesting factoid: although these entries are sent from the furthest-flung corners of the globe, most feature a female voiceover saying, “With limited money and no time, we needed to connect with consumers in a new and exciting way.”
