The Andy Awards, in collaboration with Wieden+Kennedy, has launched a darkly funny new film reaching out to those creatives who are feeling like a “mole person” – those who are “undervalued, underpaid and totally unappreciated.”
The voiceover offers sympathy to the struggling creative mole person: “Sure you’ve won a few awards, but none of them with enough clout to set you free. So you remain anonymous, clinging to the one thing you’ve got… hope. The voice then suggests the creative should shoot for winning an Andy, which “puts creativity above PR, above politics.”
Check it out. It’s wonderfully dreary.
“The Andys is a show that celebrates only the very best work,” said Menno Kluin, a member of The Andy’s jury and CCO @360i.
“The best work in the industry, in culture, and in creativity. Period. It’s a league of its own where the goal is not quantity, but quality. If you win, it truly means something. People don’t talk about the number of ANDY awards they won each year – they talk about the fact that they won. That is all you need to know.”
The Andy Awards, which this year is led by Colleen DeCourcy, co-President and chief creative officer for Wieden+Kennedy as 2020 Jury Chair, is now open for entries. Go here.
