303 and all that Jazz
In a huge coup, Perth based agency 303 has edged out east coast agencies Host and incumbent Draft FCB to secure the Honda Jazz advertising business across Australia. The win follows on the heels of a number of other successes for the agency after picking up RSVP.com from Campaign Palace and being included on the PepsiCo and Pernod Ricard roster with campaigns being created for Sakata and Chivas Regal, respectively. The agency is also currently putting the finishing touches to a new national campaign for the NSW Bible Society, which is being developed in Perth.
303 Perth Managing Director Alan Taylor said it was extremely exciting and satisfying for the agency.
“We are really starting to see the benefits of our vision to create one agency that traverses the West and East coasts. Our guys here in Perth now get the opportunity to work on a great car brand and a host of other diverse and interesting brands they wouldn’t normally have access to. It can only broaden their skills – be it creative, strategic or management – which in turn can only be of benefit to all our clients.”
303 is also in the running for more Honda business on which a decision is still pending.

Great, great news guys. Well done.
Makes Tourism’s decision look even more difficult to justify.
303 should rename itself to 001
Gangbusters!
Congrats to all at 303.
If I was a loyal local client I would be wanting some assurances that the guys in Perth who worked on my business wouldn’t now be spending all their time on those diverse and interesting brands over east
My understanding is that 303 have won a project to simply make one TVC for Honda Jazz.
They have not, I understand, been awarded “the Honda Jazz business”, with all strategic, collateral etc staying with the incumbent.
Once again agencies blowing smoke up their own arse
Stupid comment 3.29.
If I was a local client i would be stoked to know that the people who do my advertising are considered good enough to be appointed by such well known brands, justifying my decision to appoint them to my brand.
Billy,
Who gives a f. Any business won on a brand like this it is a massive achievement and something we should all be getting behind. Makes you sound so, so bitter and petty.
And 3:29 sounds like you might just be trying to get in with some of those “loyal clients” – good luck.
Well done 303.
3.42 CB This needs clarification.
3.42 – pull your head out your arse – gotta start somewhere – that cummins nitro best job in the world campaign wasn’t done by the incumbent agency.
ridiculous perth negativity – good to see one of us mixing it with the big boys over east
Jealousy is a bitch ain’t it 3.29
3.42. Oh Billy. It says ‘Advertising’ business. As in, to make ‘the ads’. Can’t see anywhere a claim about strategy etc. As I understand.
Billy. Your first sentence splits both hairs and infinitives.
7.46 You are right about Cummins Nitro-strangely enough after all of the recent record breaking acolades they failed to win the Bulk of the account in the recent pitch for the business. Go figure!
Don’t you worry about our local clients 3.29. Worry about yours.
AWESOME news 303. Congratulations, I can’t wait to see the work!
It’s pretty clear from this report, distance has meant the story has been lost in translation. Sorry Campaign Brief, you might want to consult B&T or AdNews on what the real facts are. Rumours being what they are, the project is apparently being run out of 303’s the Sydney office anyway??
Woohoo!! congrats 303! all that hard work paying off 🙂
Well done 303!
Especially that good bloke Rene!!
From an ex-adman who still gets a kick from the exciting world of Perth advertising…

Oh no! We’ve got an international brand at MF too. Oh shit, I need your advice, should we get rid of them to keep our local clients happy?
Are you fucken serious tiger???
I also heard it was pitched and won by 303 in Sydney and is for one Jazz ad only
9.52. Just because adventure world has the word ‘world’ in it doesn’t make it international

Isn’t jazz all about blowing your own trumpet?
