On 11 May, AdLand's digerati gathered in Manhattan to celebrate the winners of the prestigious
2012 One Show Interactive awards. A total of 91 Pencil winners representing 17 different countries were announced and the Best of Show honours went to two winners:
DDB Paris's
A New Warrior created for
Greenpeace, and
72andSunny for
MFCEO created for K-Swiss.
'This is the first time in the history of the One Show Interactive awards competition that we have awarded two "Best of Show" winners,' said Kevin Swanepoel, president and interim CEO at The One Club, said. 'After four intense hours of deliberation by our elite jury panel, a landmark decision was made to award both DDB Paris and 72andSunny for their brave creative campaigns.'
Nick Parish, Contagious's North America editor, was among the elite jury panel. Commenting on the awards, he said 'In Interactive, we managed to celebrate a lot of diverse work, and some important pieces earned gold. The co-Grand Prix division reflects a good undercurrent to the show: do we take a serious, sober view of the world's problems, or laugh them off? There's a capacity for both.'
