O Positive leads production houses with five honors; Biscuit Caviar, Chelsea, Smuggler earn three apiece
The AICP Show: The Art & Technique of the American Commercial premiered tonight at The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City. While each category of the show may have up to three winners, there are two exceptions–the categories Advertising Excellence/Single Commercial and Advertising Excellence/Campaign–which may have only one honoree apiece. Thus the winners in those two Excellence categories earn Best in Show distinction–the recipients this time around being Weight Watchers’ “Help With The Hard Part” out of Wieden+Kennedy, which scored the Advertising Excellence/Campaign honor; and P&G Always’ “#LikeAGirl,” the Advertising Excellence/Single Commercial winner from Leo Burnett Toronto, Chicago, London, and sister digital shop Holler, London.
Lauren Greenfield of Chelsea directed “#LikeAGirl.” Meanwhile the Weight Watchers’ campaign consisted of the ads “All You Can Eat” directed by Sam Brown of Imperial Woodpecker, “If You’re Happy” helmed by Martin De Thurah of Epoch Films, and “My Butt” directed by John Hillcoat of Skunk.
The AICP Show closed out AICP Week, a celebration of advertising in the motion image, which also included the debut of the AICP Next Awards at the NYU Skirball Center, and the AICP Week Base Camp. Two thousand members of the advertising, marketing and production industries attended the debut of the AICP Show.
The most honored production company in the AICP Awards was O Positive, with five honors, followed by Biscuit Filmworks, Caviar Content, Chelsea, and Smuggler, all of whom received three honors.
Among directors, David Shane of O Positive had the most honors, with four wins. Sam Brown of Imperial Woodpecker and Lauren Greenfield of Chelsea each received three honors.
On the agency front, various offices of Wieden+Kennedy topped the list with 10 honors, followed by several offices of Leo Burnett with six honors. Receiving five honors was 72andSunny, followed by SS+K with four wins. Agencies that won three times are: Anomaly, BBDO New York, Droga5, Goodby Silverstein & Partners, Grey New York, and TBWA/Chiat/Day.
As earlier reported, in the AICP Next Awards, the Most Next honor (Best in Show) went to “Social Savvy Burglar” for Allstate, out of Leo Burnett Chicago, and directed by Jeff Tremaine of HeLo. The winner of the Most Next honor directs a $5,000 grant from the AICP Foundation to an educational institution of their choosing. This year’s grant went to Marwen, a nonprofit organization offering free, arts-based youth development programs for under-served Chicago students in grades 6-12. In a typical year, more than 900 students from almost 300 schools travel to Marwen, where they take classes designed and taught by practicing artists.
Each year all the AICP Show and Next Award honored work becomes part of the archives of the Department of Film at MoMA. The collection now numbers over 1,700 pieces of advertising in the motion image.
Serving as chairperson of this year’s Show was Kerstin Emhoff, co-founder/executive producer of PRETTYBIRD. Following its premiere at MoMA, the Show will tour museums and cultural institutions around the country and abroad.
The Art & Technique of the American Commercial has a bifurcated judging system, which begins with a series of judging panels featuring over 400 judges from across the country and around the world, with experts in various fields judging work across the 22 categories. The process culminates in the meeting of the Curatorial Committee, which is the final arbiter in the disposition of the Show, confirming eligibility and appropriateness to category.
The AICP Show reel features custom-designed graphics by Trollbäck + Company, with an original score and sound design by Q Department, and audio by BANG Music + Audio Post. The Show Sponsor loop was created by Quietman with music by Listen, and audio by BANG Music + Audio Post.
