Creative Report Card: BBDO gets top marks

With award-winning campaigns for Red Dog beer, Polaroid Canada, and Dairyworld, among others, bbdo dominated many of the Canadian advertising awards shows held over the last 12 months, and, as a consequence, came top of the class in Strategy’s annual Creative Report Card.

The Creative Report Card charts the results of the major Canadian advertising awards programs held in 1995 to provide a snapshot of Canada’s most celebrated agencies, clients and creative talent.

Larry Tolpin, bbdo executive vice-president and creative director, generated the most points as creative director, while Michael McLaughlin, also of bbdo, finished first in the art director category.

Top copywriter honors went to Stephen Creet, of the same agency.

Not surprisingly, perhaps, bbdo’s client, Molson Breweries, marketer of Red Dog beer, generated the greatest number of points as top client.

TBWA/Chiat Day placed second in the agency category, largely due to its award-winning work for Toshiba Canada and Nissan Canada.

However, if one were to combine all the points generated by agencies MacLaren Lintas, McCann-Erickson Advertising and MacLaren McCann (MacLaren and McCann merged in May to form a new entity), that agency would have clinched second place.

The Creative Report Card is undertaken as a separate exercise to the Agency of the Year competition, in which Strategy asks a panel of clients and advertising agency creatives to evaluate the work of a short-list of agencies.

(In that competition, MacLaren McCann was judged to be Strategy’s 1995 Agency of the Year. The second section of this issue is devoted to that exercise.)

While the Agency of the Year competition evaluates current work, the Creative Report Card tends to reflect the performance of agencies during the previous year, since there is generally about a year’s delay between the time advertising creative is developed and the time it makes it to the awards circuit.

The Creative Report Card, therefore, reflects an agency’s work in 1994.

Strategy has developed a grading system that provides a cumulative measure of the 800 or so individual advertising awards presented last year.

This is how the system works: Strategy assigns a point value to each gold, silver, bronze and certificate of merit, weighted according to the relative importance of each awards program, as judged by Strategy editorial staff.

National awards programs are accorded greater weight than regional shows.

In the same way, awards shows that honor a cross-section of media are accorded greater weight than those that take into consideration only one medium.

By adding up the points accorded each award-winning piece of advertising, Strategy is able to attribute a point value to each advertising agency, client, creative director, art director and copywriter whose work is awarded.

The Creative Report Card uses, as its foundation, the results of the major national and regional advertising awards programs that recognize excellence in consumer advertising.

In English Canada, these include: the Advertising and Design Club of Canada awards (all media), presented by the Advertising and Design Club of Canada; the Applied Arts Awards (all media), presented by Applied Arts Magazine; the Ad Rodeo awards (all media), presented by an independent advertising industry committee based in Calgary; the Bessies (tv), presented by the Television Bureau of Canada; the Billis (outdoor), presented by the Outdoor Advertising Association of Canada; the Lotus awards (all media) presented by an industry committee in association with the Advertising Agency Association of British Columbia; the Marketing awards (all media), presented by Marketing magazine; and the rsvp awards (direct response), presented by the Canadian Direct Marketing Association.

The Applied Arts Awards and the Ad Rodeo awards are new to the report card tabulation this year, which explains the greater number of points generated by many of the agencies listed.

Their inclusion also explains the improved standing of agencies from Western Canada.

Missing from this year’s Report Card tabulation are the Extras, since the ceremony was postponed until 1996.

The Extras, presented by the Newspaper Marketing Bureau, honor excellence in newspaper advertising.

As a group, these awards shows recognize excellence in seven media categories: television, radio, newspapers, magazines, outdoor, transit and direct response marketing.

The Creative Report Card begins on page 24 with advertising agencies, and continues on pages 25-27, listing clients, creative directors, art directors and copywriters.

Within the seven media categories, results are broken out by agency, client, creative director, art director and copywriter and appear on pages 28-30 in the following order: tv, magazines, newspapers, transit, outdoor, radio and direct marketing.

Please note, there is no Creative Report Card this year for the Quebec market, as there are only two major awards shows in that province – Les Coqs d’Or (all media), presented by the Publicite Club de Montreal, and Les Affiches d’Or (outdoor), presented by Mediacom – and the presentation of Les Affiches d’Or was postponed indefinitely.

A summary of the top performers in each category appears on page 22.

Since the various awards were announced, a number of creative people have changed agencies.

To be consistent, they are listed with the agency for which they won the award.

In categories in which an individual won awards for more than one agency, each agency is listed.

As well, several agencies have changed names.

In the event of a straightforward name change, we have listed the agency’s new name.

In the event of a merger – as was the case with MacLaren McCann – we have listed the founding agencies separately.

Awards programs and annuals were our reference for all credits.

Due to limited editorial space, listings below 10 points have not necessarily been included.
