The CLIO Awards provided the following statement after removing the supposed History Channel campaign by Ogilvy Johannesburg from their website last week pending further investigation:
“Ogilvy Johannesburg has withdrawn the entry from the 2009 CLIO competition.”
Short and sweet but at least its an answer.
Beautiful, brief, pure poetry!
The CLIO Awards ‘message’ is the digital equivalent to coitus interrupts: we were all expecting dramatic narrative to fly into the cooling fan, and all we got was an SMS-length Twitterable message. We demand dirt, plenty of it, forthwith!
