Very good ads, but are any of these aimed at women??????

Not sure, David. They did tell us they wanted to see more videos geared towards women, but I guess that was early on in the assignment when we were getting tons of young guys making VERY-guy focused themes.

[...] It’s been quite a journey. Congratulations to the five selected creators for ZorbEEZ, the five for Nestle’s 100 Grand Bar, and for the three selected creators from the Unilever Slim-Fast [...]

I have to agree with David. If you are going to put out a creative brief to follow a certain theme then it should be followed. It seems the ones picked did not follow the creative brief. Not to take anything away from the fine work created. They did a good job.

So I am little confused. Did these 5 finalist each receive $5,000 or did anyone grab the 20 grand?
Just want to know who to congratulate.

Chad - Nestle hasn’t chosen any videos to buy for TV, unfortunately. They may yet, but they have to sort some other marketing things first. These videos are their picks for finalists, though.
