Stuff’s Chief Revenue Officer Andy Symons says the first-round judges were impressed with the number and calibre of entries that showcased the unique and impactful opportunities of print advertising. “This year’s finalists really nailed the execution of some fantastic creative concepts to bring the pages to life.”
Rainger and Rolfe’s Seriously Spicy campaign for Texas Chicken was crowned the winner in 2020, as judged by international advertising icon Sir John Hegarty. The restaurant brand has again nabbed a finalist spot in the 2021 awards.
