Judge’s comment: ‘This ad is so fresh for the category. The restraint shown in the treatment amplifies the concept of being thoughtful, considered and boxing clever. It’s a welcome change from traditional fast-food commercials that are loud, overly energetic and sell hard. Everything from the casting and cinematography to the music and narration had a touch of refinement you just don’t expect from retail ads. Lovely work, Thina.’ – Verona Meyer, Executive Creative Director at M&C Saatchi Abel
