Nancy Hartley, Joint Creative Director of SapientNitro and the judge of the December/January competition, said: “The Coopers Ultralight ad wins this round for me. Simple, clear and it made me smile. Highly commended goes to Oreo for Santa's Place Mat. Neat little interactive newspaper idea, spot on for the brand. And I was nearly swayed by The Boxing Day Test ad for TAC - one of the better topical ads in the mix. Maybe I should have been judging with a Coopers Ultralight in hand, rather than a sav blanc.â€
