Mark Waites, the chairman of the International ANDY Awards and Mother London’s creative director and founding partner, said: "It’s become very clear that new thinking in new media has replaced traditional ‘advertising’ executions.
"Clients and their agencies are becoming adept at embracing unusual approaches, concepts and mediums to transport their creative vision into work that makes viewers take notice and respond.
"Reaching consumers any place and any time has become a given but the most creatively open minds are setting their advertising apart, formulating unexpected ideas that are accessible to the audience"
