FT.com

Chevrolet

Like the brief from FT.com our Chevrolet brief received some truly outstanding Ideas which also gave us lots of thinking and debating to do. Currently the Ideas have been narrowed down to a shortlist of six - yes it took us almost four weeks to get to six. These Ideas are now being tossed around like hot light bulbs until the hottest one sticks… or something along those lines. A big congratulations to the creatives who managed to make the shortlist, nicely played. Keep those phones on and close, a call might be coming any time soon.
