The Gunn Report
Posted in Uncategorized
For those who are interested, the top five in each category can be found here.
1. Congrats to my old AD Cam and his number 5 TV ad.
2. Congrats to RKCR/Y&R for their ‘5th best agency in the world’. I guess that makes them officially the best agency in the country.
3. Congrats to the Dixons campaign – most awarded in the world.
4. Congrats to Donald Gunn for thinking up a way of making loads of money just by adding up awards and making it all a bit secret so we can’t just do it ourselves.
This has cheered me up a bit.
Everyone keeps banging on about how shite the UK advertising industry is… but we are in 2nd place for the most awards won globally.
Thats champions league!
Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and an above the line agency places top 5 in digital agencies.
And Thanonchai Sornsriwichai is STILL the worlds most awarded director.
Three questions:
1) 3rd most awarded digital, and I quote – “MONOPOLY CITY GAMEBOARD “Monopoly City Streets” by DDB UK (London)”.
Why do I not know this? Am I a spaz? Should the whole of London ATL be celebrating our countrymen’s digital achievements? Or is it ex Tribal DDB cunts that no-one cares about…?
2) Who is this Thanonchai Sornsrivichai director dude and where do I get his reel from? Or is he a little scammy chap?
3) Do we really give a flying cunt about this shit. Gunnypoos can literally eat the sweetcorn out of my errant bumhole.

G-L: How topical.
I take a little bit of comfort in knowing that that unbelievably ordinary canal+ ad is the most awarded in the world.
I can tell myself that the fact I haven’t won anything for ages isn’t because I’ve done nothing good, but because juries are made up of weird bad mefs.
and I don’t think I’ve seen any of the others, so they might be crap too. woo!
Brake D – Canal+ is pretty decent. Worthy of picking up ‘most awarded’? Perhaps not, but it’s an idea that translates seemlessly into almost any culture or language, therefore, it performs well in whichever country it is entered.
I like the canal + ad and understand the fact it’s about story telling. I just can’t get past the fact that there are clothes in the wardbobe
Monopoly was done entirely by Tribal DDB.
1. NC – Bet you George can get you that reel if you ask him nicely.
2. There’s an agency named Ponce. And it wins stuff.
3. GL – in 2009 the biggest digital agency in the US was Goodby Berlin. Like you said….
its also good to see two entires in the “gunn Blazing” [whatever the **** that means] bit as well
you do have to give it up for mr.donald gunn on some level.
Gout Legs – I already have it in my desk drawer. Thanonchai (or ‘Tor’) works out of Phenomena, in Bangkok – http://www.pheno.com/. He has topped the directors list for at least 7 of the last 10 years, however his work as a whole is very disappointing.
