Saatchi & Saatchi wins two of just four Gold Effies as The Works take out top prize
Saatchi & Saatchi was named Effective Agency of the Year after scooping two of just four Gold awards handed out at this year’s event while Sydney independent agency The Works grabbed the Grand Effie at the Communications Council’s Effie Awards last night.
The Penny the Pirate campaign for OPSM saw Saatchis handed two of just four Golds handed out on the night in Healthcare and Most Original Thinking categories.

The remaining two Gold Effies were awarded to Adelaide independent Showpony Advertising for their Aboriginal Immunisation campaign for South Australia Health The Works for its Canadian Club campaign.
Warmest congratulations to all the winners especially Mike. A clear manifestation of all the hard graft he and his people in George street have put into rebuilding the Saatchi’s brand.
Also to Karl at Officeworks his guys and the excellent people at AJF, two years in a row of being recognised. The irrepressible Andrew Howie, the Monkey’s, BMF, UM. Mercer Bell, all of whom are great advertising people and really get trust, confidence & collaboration which makes for effective work that is engaging and provides tremendous value for both clients and agencies. We are extremely fortunate & very to work with them all across their businesses.
