Grand Prix received agency DDB South Africa for touching the print campaign for batteries Energizer. It was also served with 9 gold, 29 silver and 54 bronze lion awarded to 20 works more than last year.

Work for Energizer became the unanimous choice of the jury. The award went to the South African branch of DDB for a bold campaign, which the jury president Craig Davis called a very strong performance, which is literally "jumped out of the page».

The idea, which transmits a series of prints is as follows: parents can count on reliable and long-acting lithium batteries Energizer, toys their children will never stop working. This will help avoid any disobedience and curiosities, which usually occur when children are left to themselves. Advertising shows children whose toys with batteries stop working, and this has allowed them to find a number of not very good lessons.

"We were looking for a job that would have awakened in people a very strong response - forced them to laugh, to cry, to trust in the brand," says Davis. He said that he asked the jury to look for work, which would be "jumped out of the pages and readers for a delayed».
There were many lively discussions to determine the outcome, but the winner of the Grand Prix was determined unanimously.
