There are over 50 in that category alone!

Having been a judge at these you would be surprised how many entries there are from random agencies or brands you haven’t heard of, so when you see the “usual suspects” now I realize some Kitchener agency indeed did not make the cut.

Yes it is. But I’m happy you did well.

Haha yes we didn't shortlist

Uh, ya.

Agencies getting short lists for their own promo videos seem like the most egregious thing.

There’s a self promotion category. What’s wrong with that? Some of the most disastrous ads I’ve ever seen were agency self promo vids. Nothing wrong with celebrating the ones that got it right.
