Leo Burnett sweeps the board at IAB Awards for ABS Census Spotlight

IAB AwardsLeo Burnett Sydney has swept the board at the 2012 Interactive Advertising Bureau Awards, picking up four trophies for the “Spotlight” campaign for the Australian Bureau of Statistics.

Soap Creative won the Creative Showcase Grand Prix award for its “world-first” Lynx Anarchy Invisible Ad campaign.

The other category winners were Whybin\TBWA\Tequila, ZenithOptimedia, The Monkeys, UM Australia, FirstClick Consulting, Nomad and George Patterson Y&R Sydney.

Leo picked up the Best Of Show, along with the Brand Awareness & Positioning, Brand Destination Site and Rich Media & Digital Video categories.

Leo Burnett Sydney and Soap Creative’s winning campaigns go on to enter the US MIXX 2012 Awards, which will be announced on 2nd October in New York.

The ABS “Spotlight” campaign has already won a Gold Cyber Lotus at Adfest 2012, Silver and Bronze awards at the Spike Asia awards and a Bronze World Medal for online design at the New York Festivals International Advertising Awards 2012.

Paul Fisher, CEO of IAB Australia said in a release: “Leo Burnett Sydney’s “Spotlight” campaign for the Australian Bureau of Statistics is a great case study for marketers as it succeeded in taking the somewhat dry activity of the national Census and sparking engagement in a broadly unengaged audience. This campaign skilfully built a range of interactive platforms that illustrated how engaged participation in the Census could have personal benefit to the individual, resulting in outstanding success.”
