General	A good chunk of work. A result of Loeries and Cannes rush. A mix of low production budgets, but great ideas. High budgets, with not-so-great ideas, and all the in-betweens. It did not make any difference whether it was an expensive piece or not, but as usual, what made the difference was great ideas coupled with the appropriate production. Another note. It always seems that when one category improves (radio and experiential) another dips a bit (print and outdoor). This was also reflected at Cannes, Radio Grand Prix etc. Have a look and see if we got it right. Well done to all the winners. And well done to all the Cannes winners as well. It was Net#work BBDO that held South Africa high this year. Shot, guys.
