CCA results leaked before show

<p>SINGAPORE: The winners of this year's Creative Circle Awards (CCA), </p><p>with Ogilvy & Mather in top slot, came as no surprise to the large </p><p>number of attendees after the event organiser accidentally emailed the </p><p>list to agencies two weeks ago. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>The mistake was exacerbated when the results were posted on a community </p><p>website Redice.com for all to see. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>The fiasco aside, O&M took the best of show prize for its work on </p><p>Guinness' "What's on your mind" campaign. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>This plus the agency's work on the Churches of Love's "God" campaign and </p><p>some ads for entertainment portal Do Asia propelled it to the top of the </p><p>league with three gold, six silver and 24 bronze. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Saatchi & Saatchi, which topped the awards tally last year, came second </p><p>followed by Leo Burnett. Saatchi won three gold, seven silver and nine </p><p>bronze for its entries, including lobby organisation Smoke Free </p><p>Singapore, pub Brewerkz and real estate firm Prulink Realty. The few </p><p>entries that Saatchi submitted generally won an award, commented Chris </p><p>Kyme, FCB regional creative director, who was on the judging panel. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Work for unit trust Prudential Unit, frame making company Merlin and </p><p>charity Ocean Environment helped Burnett win one gold, three silver and </p><p>18 bronze prizes. Other winners included J. Walter Thompson (one gold), </p><p>Euro RSCG (two silver awards), Batey Ads (one silver and 11 bronze), BBH </p><p>(one silver and six bronze), OgilvyOne (one silver and five bronze) and </p><p>Crush (one silver and five bronze). </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>The night in pictures - p32. </p><p><BR><BR> </p>
