Awards
I believe that the success of the campaigns I have worked on speak for themselves and there’s nothing more rewarding than seeing your work actually work.
However, it is also rewarding when your peers see fit to compliment you on the quality of your creative product.
Awards in advertising were originally created because some agencies, and their clients, recognised that a creative idea was the most cost effective way to get an ad noticed.
This fact is lost on most advertisers today.
