Special New Zealand won AdNews Magazine Cover of the Year for 2021.
The agency won the honor of best coverage in a popular vote, against a strong group: January/February Engine Group; March/April Howatson+; May/June Innocean Australia; July/August Student at AWARD William Labourier School in NSW; The Annual Houston Group.
The September/October issue focused on New Zealand to look at how the industry has been tracking during the pandemic.
Special New Zealand made magic with The calm in the storm blanket, a giant Kiwi inside a snow globe with the storm outside, safe from the pandemic wilderness.
Lisa Fedyszyn, ECD: “The idea had to tick some boxes and obviously get everything we wanted to say into one image: that New Zealand’s creative industries get on it.
“The idea chosen just seemed like a simple concept to grasp, and proof that we’re getting it right, because the image in the globe is a Tourism New Zealand film, shot here in Aotearoa in conjunction with Special Australia.”
