Looks like Rare are topping the Perth finalists, followed by 303, Marketforce and Cooch. Any chance of a local slant on the article? AWARD used to be big news.
Congratulations Cooch and Rare.
Still no post about the local finalists CB?
Nice work Mitchernator.
Awesome work Rich…ernator?
Well done TBA
So much for the local angle. Wonder if it would have been different if Marketforce had topped the finalists?
It’s a good performance by Rare and 303, and nice to see Cooch in the mix as well but they are all only finalists, so let’s not get carried away with that. It’s what they do from here that counts and hopefully we’ll have something big to celebrate after November 12. Good luck to all the finalists.

P.S. I believe The Brand Agency has also got a finalist in Radio with its Perth Zoo ‘Silent Night’ spot. It’s not on AWARD’s list but I think the agency has received notification that it’s in.
Thanks CB for adding the local angle to the headline.
