Addict 2007: 100 ads from the very popular "Nuit des Publivores" by Jean-Marie Boursicot
Until the 80' no one had thought of creating an ad library. A Belgian, Jean-Marie Boursicot, decided to start archiving these little pieces of art, which are also a reflection of our contemporary society. He then had the brilliant idea of grouping these ads and showing them during ad-marathons under the name La Nuit des Publivores. The concept has been so successful over the last 20 years that it has traveled around the world to finally arrive in Melbourne in 2007 being renamed Ad'dict.
Organized by the French-Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry Junior, Ad'dict gathered 360 people in a fully booked scession at Acmi, Federation Square on Friday 25 May. The crowd was welcome from 7pm by the famous local band, the Tabasco Junkies before the event started with an introduction by Russel Howcroft, Managing Director - George Patterson Young & Rubicam and National Chairman - Advertising Federation of Australia (AFA). He enlarged on his experience within the advertising industry, giving a few insights on his fascinating experience dealing with Havas.
Overall the night was a great success. All of this made possible by the patronage of Renault Australia, the media expertise of Ponto Combo, the massive outdoor campaign by JC Decaux and the proud support of LEK Consulting, Thales, Schweppes, Moonlight and Acmi, along with the gifts from Ansell, Dominique Portet, Nescafe, L'Oreal and Lithocraft.
