The Bessies: Only the Best Ideas Win

Here’s another one of those little Advertising spoofs that, once again, illustrates the trials and tribulations and silliness that goes along with the creative process.

The funny thing, though, is that this is an actual ad run to promote a Canadian advertising awards show called The Bessies. It holds nothing back in it’s portrayal of the creative process. If only our clients would allow us to be so honest when we create for them.

This one is from a creative team at Ogilvy and Mather in Toronto.
