Meribel Cristal Winners

The European Film Winners were announced last night and provided some interesting choices from Meribel's Jury.

Taking the grand big daddy Cristal for 08 (strangely) was Sony's Campaign 'Music Pieces'.

Following on behind was the Sony campaign 'Foam City' co-winning the er... Tourism Leisure Category (go Sony!).

Other winners were as follows:

Food Drink Category: 'Open Source' Pepsi
Automobile Category: 'Maggia' Volkswagen
Insurance / Banking Category: 'Waterslide' Barclays
Charity Category: 'Dreams of tomorrow' Greenpeace
Public Interest Category: 'Binge boy/girl' Home Office
Public Interest Category: 'Whodunnit' Home Office
Retail: 'Shadows' John Lewis
Media 'Mafia' Canal +
Clothing: 'Core values' Louis Vuitton


The awards underline a stalwart but perhaps slightly unpolished year for Ads in Europe and close 08 with a little French class that the Cannes showy-bunfight can no longer provide.

Roll on Meribel 09!
