APA recognise top British commercials
The Advertising Producers Association (APA) have announced the year's top commercials at their annual celebratory evening, held at the Victoria and Albert Museum on September 18.
The selected commercials include the years funniest and most breath taking films from the technical genius of the Honda 'Cog' to the extremely amusing John Smiths campaign featuring Peter Kay. Nike stole the show with four brilliant films 'Pretzel', 'The Great Run', 'Puddle' and 'The Streaker'. The Audi 'Drink Like A Fish' commercial put in an unsurprising appearance, as did Orange's celebrity trio of excellent spots, featuring Spike Lee, Carrie Fisher and Roy Scheider.
Tessa Jowell, Secretary of Culture, Media and Sport, described the ceremony as: "A timely and welcome celebration for UK commercials production, another success story for British creative industries".
