London - The Gunn Report has released Cases for
Creativity 2014, a study that identifies the campaigns that have won both a
Cannes Gold Lion for creativity and a Gold Effie for effectiveness. Representing the high watermark of
advertising achievement, 12 campaigns have accomplished such a feat in 2014 and
show the ability for creativity in all its forms to drive extraordinary
results. Included in the list is ‘Catch a Million’, a campaign created in
partnership between client DB Breweries, part of the Heineken Group, Saatchi
& Saatchi New Zealand and Apollonation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LN0fBnI-Xoo
Saatchi & Saatchi New Zealand’s joint ECD
Corey Chalmers said: "Winning a gold Cannes Lion and a gold Effie for the
same campaign is the ultimate accolade in our business – high creativity
delivering real results, by impressing consumers as much as jurors. We're
thrilled that DB has been recognised for their boldness, imagination, vision
and collaborative spirit."
The Gunn Report’s 2014 cases see traditional
TVCs alongside PR stunts, technology experiments, and good old-fashioned
consumer promotions. The 12 campaigns hail from Argentina, Australia (x2),
Brazil (x2), France, New Zealand (x2), Peru (x2), UAE and USA.

Author of the study, James Hurman, founder of
the Auckland based innovation consultancy, Previously Unavailable, says,
“Effectiveness continues to defy media categorisation, but the one thing this
diverse group of ideas have in common is that people saw fit to share them, and
only the most engaging creative ideas executed by the most talented people will
be shared.”
