And the winner is Ikon… no sorry, Starcom
Yep, World Cup fever is back. To celebrate its return to SBS the public broadcaster held its own version of the tournament, pitting media agencies against each other.
There was blood, there were tears. Then the tournament began.
Four years ago when it was last run, Ikon took the tournament – which includes best cheer-leading, commentator, foosball and futsal team.
But this year, the overall winner was Starcom, which also won the hard-fought futsal component of the competition.
Special goes mention to Simon Canning from The Australian for a stoic goalkeeping performace that helped Industry Media to a rampant 4-2 triumph over Zenithoptimedia.
As for some of Tim Burrowes’ commentary skills and self-styled self-appointed Brian Clough esq management techniques, well, less said the better…
The real star was SBS’s Jane McMillan for stoically taking an elbow in the mouth from win-at-all-costs commercial boss Richard Finlayson…
Cheers,
