Any agency with Guinness in its portfolio automatically has my support. Not a bad year for this agency, which is part of a local group whose creative colours are fluttering again.

Five pitches entered, four accounts won: the Engen 1 Stop Wimpy campaign, Cape Town Fish Market, UCT Graduate School of Business and Worldwide Fund for Nature's Earth Hour project. With no accounts lost, that's R19,5m in new billings.
