According to Bhandari, Need That Buzz? conveys the channel‘s motif of providing pure escapist entertainment to audiences. The campaign, which consists of four brand ads, was produced by the TBWA creative team in Singapore. Two months ago, AXN entered a barter promo contract with BBC, wherein both channels air cross promos. The arrangement ends in December. AXN‘s Need That Buzz? print campaign has received worldwide recognition from three of the most prestigious awards honouring creative excellence in advertising - The Clio Awards, The International Advertising Festival - Cannes Lions, and the Asian Media Awards. |
