2019 Winner

Zulu Alpha Kilo

World's Worst RFP

Zulu Alpha Kilo

BronzeCraft - Copywriting

BronzeSelf-Promotion

Tired but satisfied winners. Dejected, second-guessing losers. Camera flashes and questions on peaked mics. No, it’s not a World Series press conference. For strategy’s Agency of the Year gala, Zulu’s video parodied the post-game scrum to show the absurdity of the agency pitch process. The script captures the plain-spokenness of press conferences and shows a healthy disdain for creativity’s decline in modern RFPs – but still highlights issues like rate cutting and flimsy AOR relationships. In the end, no one really wins: a strong statement for the creative industry.
