Meanwhile, Bartle Bogle Hegarty’s executive creative director, Nick Gill, was given the Chairman’s Award, and BMB’s Christopher Keatinge and Dan Bennett won Best New Creative Team for their "Simon the ogre" ad for Thomson Holidays.

Other gold-winning ads were: Eurostar "stories are waiting in Paris" by Abbott Mead Vickers BBDO; Channel 4 "born risky: alternative voices" by 4Creative; Department for Transport "morning after" by AMV BBDO; Tango "argh!" by BBH; Guinness "Sapeurs" by AMV BBDO; John Lewis "bear and the hare" by A&E/DDB; Harvey Nichols "sorry I spent it on myself" by A&E/DDB; British Army "boots" by JWT; Honda "hands" by Wieden & Kennedy, and Sainsbury’s "Christmas in a day" by AMV BBDO.

Robert Campbell, the chairman of the British Arrows and the founder of Outsider, said: "The Arrows are a special and wonderful event, and 2014 has been another record year, with 618 entries, which were painstakingly whittled down to 16 gold and 47 silver winners.

"A massive thanks goes to [Wieden & Kennedy co-executive creative director] Kim Papworth for doing a fantastic job of heading up this year’s jury.

"And thanks also go to the 21 jury members, who gave up so much of their time and showed great passion and insight. They spent three long days in careful debate and deliberation. The result, I am sure you will agree, is a brilliant representation of the last year’s work."
