Pretty funny. It preys on the insecurities of creatives. And it's anonymous to send. Mother, London came up with it.

The Andy's also introduced a new innovation category this year to help corral brilliant yet amoebic ideas.

I worked for the Andy's a few times. During the final hours of judging, things like Nike ID, UniqLOCK, Earth Hour and The Tap Project all seemed to bust out of categorization. I think that's where this new slot was born. Should be interesting.  http://andyawards.com

2009 ANDY Awards Digital Campaign - - Creatives Connect
Posted on 2008-Nov-19 at 03:25

So, the International ANDY Awards is entering its 45th year as one of the industry’s preeminent creative advertising awards show. They’re reinforcing their position as the first and perhaps most important show of the season in the new advertising campaign. The interactive Call-for-Entry campaign satirizes the emails of websites like Friendster and LinkedIn that invite you to be part of a social network.

 

The piece, created by the team at Mother, London under the direction of Mark Waites, totally catches you off guard and surprises you. You think you’re opening a traditional “friend network” notification from one of the famous ANDY judges such as Jeff Goodby or Bob Scarpelli, but NO!!

 

The unexpected comes when the face of that judge appears laughing and then you’re reminded of your ranking in the creative food chain, mocking the idea that the stellar executives would never be your friend unless you won the GRANDY. What’s even better is that the request can be forwarded to your industry friends and colleagues as part of the campaign’s viral roll-out. Fool somebody today…… http://creativesconnect.net/index.php?startPage=juror
