7 February 2003: BBC Post Production - Design Bristol has won a Silver for 'Best TV Campaign' at the National Grand Prix 2002 Cream Awards for the commercials for Wessex Water.

The cross-media campaign was aimed at driving awareness of Wessex Water amongst the target market and produce a new identity that would differentiate Wessex Water from other utility companies. The campaign was featured on regional TV, press and outdoor media.

The 30-second creative executions featured the character 'Dave' – a water guru that personifies natural balance and harmony with nature. His spiritual mission to deliver pure water was used as a vehicle to communicate the values and messages of the company.

In addition, BBC Post Production - Design Bristol was short-listed for 'Best use of multi media' after having won the regional heat in the South-West. It was highly commended for a series of 'Blue Planet' games based on the ground-breaking natural history series.

James Hall, Creative Director at BBC Post Production - Design Bristol comments: "We are delighted to have not only done so well at the regional level but to go on and win a Silver for 'Best TV campaign' at the National Grand Prix. It is a testament to the creativity and skill of the team."
