McDonald’s is the winner of the biggest prize in Australian advertising, along with its agencies DDB Sydney and OMD: $1 million worth of inventory as the winners of Nine’s State of Originality competition.
Determined by an all-star judging panel and the Australian public, Nine’s State of Originality challenged brands and agencies to take the platform of State of Origin and create unmissable ads that captured the attention of the millions of viewers watching each round of the series.
The winning McDonald’s ad, “End of Night”, celebrates a part of the footy seldom shown: the period several hours after the big game. We follow a street sweeper driving around the city late at night as fans, revellers, commentators and Origin greats make their way home with one thing in common: a hunger for Macca’s.

“They took up both the challenge and opportunity in State of Originality to produce some great work that showcases the power of original storytelling, beautifully executed and delivered within the right context.

Hollywood actor Mark Wahlberg has taken the lead in Ladbroke’s latest brand campaign, starring as the betting brands’ new chief entertainment officer, Mike Iceberg.
The campaign, from Thinkerbell, sees Iceberg inject some excitement into the Ladbrokes office, coining the brand’s new tagline ‘Ladbroke It’.
“Part of our creative challenge was literally this: Use Mark Wahlberg to help us make racing even more exciting. Cue big shiny red Harley Davidson Horse and a dancing ATM…” said Jim Ingram, national chief creative tinker at Thinkerbell.
“Our creative strategy in this was to use Mark as an actor playing an actual role, Mike Iceberg, rather than a celebrity endorsement. Christopher Riggert brought all his crazy and the whole Finch team did a brilliant job bringing Iceberg to life.”
