Wieden said: “There were some of the fantastic pieces of work here. The thing about Mistakes was the choice of talent on camera – two men of different levels in the society and a child involved.

The night saw a record number of 32 gold pencils presented, 96 silver and 127 bronze also handed out with Leo Burnett picking up both Network of the Year and Agency of the Year for its Sydney office.
