As you will soon be alerted, call for entries for the Milwaukee 99 awards show will be coming soon. In the spirit of the show, we recently sat down with last year’s Best In Show winners to pick their brains on how their team’s quiet little trade ad won the respect and admiration of the panel of national judges last year. Dave Hanneken, ECD at Laughlin Constable and Rich Kohnke, ECD at BVK were kind enough to share their insights on how the team’s winning ad became a winning ad, and perhaps give some advice for this year’s entrants.

For those who didn’t attend, prior to the start of the event, every team had to write down what they thought their total score out of 64 questions would be. Incidentally, just in case you needed further proof of the egos in this business, every team guessed way higher than they actually scored.
