Sue said

"Last December, Christmas  was almost cancelled. Britian was poised on  the edge of bankrupcy, banks and bankers were going  or being thrown to the  dogs. In that environment, no one was commissioing any creative work from any type of creative company.

It was truly a  bleak midwinter.

This company had been working on  a promotional campaign for a major retailer. When the budget was slashed because of the credit crunch, they lost out.

But instead of just giving in, the took the commission  and  turned it into a You Tube must see.  They didnt give in, they weren't  defeated. In the face of adversity they turned a loss into a winner. With humour, and  talent. And that's why I chose them as this years winner of this special award.

I think Tony would have approved."
