Never mind the Brownlows, here’s the Andys!

Thursday night marked our second agency catchup for the year.

The hotly anticipated Andy Awards for this quarter saw Andy “no, the other Andy” Bannister score the Andy for Initiative of the Quarter and Craig Sneddon and Prue Oxford take the gong for Creative of the Quarter.

Sadly, the glitzy tone of the evening took a distinct downward turn when Kylie and Justine’s report on Health Marketing was hijacked by Ian “Hookah” Ross.

Any speaker who exceeded the strict time limit had to down a penalty shot concoction known as a “Green Snowball”. The always law-abiding Craig “CMYK” Sneddon put away several penalty shots, no doubt in preparation for the upcoming World Cup. Interestingly he wasn’t even the speaker at the time.

After the formalities, we wandered off the red carpet for “a few quiet drinks”. The volume level of the drinks crept up slightly as the night wore on, judging by the sore heads around the office today, but that’s a story for another time…
