Media Design School students James McCulloch and Kathryn Prince took top honours in the Student ORCA for their mock campaign Voting Choir – aimed at getting young New Zealanders to vote.

The Student ORCA judging panel consisted of Karen Maurice-O’Leary (Facebook Creative Shop), Antony Wilson (Creative) plus Matt Williams and Freddie Coltart from DDB.

Each year The Radio Bureau set out to recognise outstanding radio creative with the ORCA. TRB aims to encourage creatives in the advertising industry to let their talents loose and explore the many options afforded by radio.

“It’s fantastic to hear the personality of New Zealand brands coming to life in these ads. We had more ORCA entries this year than ever before – a true testament to the power of radio even in difficult times”. Says TRB General Manager, Peter Richardson.
