Job Interview Best of Category at 2007 Bessies Awards

VANCOUVER, July 10, 2007 — Hot Tomali Commmunications has won “Best of Category / Miscellaneous” at the 2007 Bessies Awards for Pardons Direct’s 30-second TV spot “Job Interview.”

The Bessies are the largest national awards show dedicated to excellence in TV advertising in Canada. Many of the spots that won at the Bessies this year went on to win Lions at the prestigeous Cannes International Advertising Festival (including two Grand Prix in the Film and Interactive categories).

“Hats off to everyone involved,” says Thomas Stringham, Creative Director. “This is the toughest show in the country based on the few number of awards given out annually. Achieving the Best in Category when competing against blue chip national brands is commendable. This further demonstrates Hot Tomali’s philosophy that the power of an ad is in the idea, not the budget. I look forward to achieving even bigger and better things with this team in the near future!”
