Renowned creative director Neil Lawrence, who died tragically last year, has been inducted into the ADMA Hall of Fame for his contributions to the industry.

neil-lawrenceThe adman who founded the Sydney arm of TBWA and was a driving force behind the Kevin ’07 campaign, died in a diving accident while on holiday last year.

Lawrence’s daughter, Anna, and his son, Tom, accepted the posthumous honour during the AC&E Awards.

“Dad worked on a lot of brands throughout his career but it was his later work that he was proudest of and that we remember him for: Kevin ’07; Jay Weatherill; Anna Bligh; Recognise, and finally, his campaigning and documentary on the pokies,” Tom Lawrence said.

Lawrence’s life and work were celebrated with a video highlighting the role he played helping to elect prime ministers and premiers, as well as his work on campaigns for the Fred Hollows Foundation and the campaign for Indigenous recognition in the Constitution.

The reel also included the controversial UV sunscreen ad created by Lawrence at Young & Rubicam in 1996 where a group of dark-skinned men mocked white-skinned  people because they had to use sunscreen. The ad appeared destined for awards glory before being unexpectedly and controversially ordered off the air by Colgate-Palmolive in the US.

The AC&E Grand Prix was awarded to Clemenger BBDO in Melbourne for its Bond’s campaign, The Boys, while With Collective director, Steve Coll, was named Creative of the Year.

Brendon Cook, CEO of Ohh Media, was named the ADMA Marketer of the Year.
