Creativity: Production Company of the Year – Not Quite …

Firstly, congrats to MJZ on being Creativity’s ‘Production Company of the Year’ for 2009/2010.  Hats off to them.  Needless to say however, yours truly was mentioned, otherwise I wouldn’t be typing about them.  Stink has been hoodwinked by Creativity for their innovation over the last 12 months with outstanding work by Ivan Zacharias, Ne-o, James Brown, and of course Stink Digital’s work with Adam Berg that won awards all round, from Cannes to BIMA.

And for a more details view of why Stink were nodded as runners up, here is the full paragraph in questions:

It’s been Creativity’s mandate to honor not just the best work, but also the innovators who are redefining creative production. Stink emerged as one of this year’s frontrunners. The global, multi-hub company has long been known for its top-notch commercial production. It continued to deliver on that front with spots such as the Ivan Zacharias-directed VW “Fight”; a James Brown-directed roller-girl show for Bonds; and more dynamite visuals from Ne-O, who steered Audi’s “Economy Drive,” Frank’s “Braincrashers” and Toyota’s “Better Together.” The shop’s biggest highlight, however, came out of the company’s new-media arm, Stink Digital, via Philips “Carousel.” Directed by Adam Berg, the viral bandit-clown hit was also a critical smash, earning digital and film accolades, including the 2009 Cannes Film Grand Prix.
