Welcome to The Campaign Big Awards
Ben Priest, chairman of the 2011 Big Awards judges and creative founding partner at Adam & Eve:
"I won't lie to you, being the chairman of the Campaign Big Awards was not an onerous task. In fact I'll go further than that, it was downright enjoyable.
I'd spent time immersing myself in the very best work the UK has to offer across interactive, TV, direct, radio, print, outdoor and integrated.
I'd had the pleasure of sitting in on all the juries, listening to talented people from all corners of the business, discussing the entries. They took real pride in their task and no wonder; after all, The Campaign Big Awards are 'our' awards. There are other, well-respected events that reflect what's going on globally but the Big's are UK focused and a clear indication of the health of the nation's creativity.
It’s a true reflection of the multi disciplinary world we live and work in."
Donald Gunn, ad industry guru and creator of The Gunn Report:
“It is a great idea to award across product categories including all media, a much better way for agencies and clients to be able to look at and celebrate the best work.
The timing of The Big Awards is intelligent because it brings in a lot of new work which has broken after the summer and which won’t have been seen in the big shows of the award show ‘season’ from March to June.
And, of course, anything that simplifies things is great for agencies”.
