Well...
I am Spanish and I didn't know anything about the "Professional Fan" campaign, but I am NOT Australian and I heard about the "Best Job" one while being in 3 different countries in 2 different continents.
So I imagine that a campaign is not awarded only by "the idea", but also for how you make it work.

Actually the "Professional fan" did pretty well, it's not just an idea, in fact and as i said the guy is quite a character in terms of people following him, thanks for the comment Pears :)

i found some interesting points of view at the linked blogs at the end of this post, just in case :)

"For me, the effectiveness of Amateur is immensely greater than that of the second campaign. The content that has been generating the winner was, and is interesting, followed by supporters of Fernando Alonso and today is a reference to them. In his blog and Facebook. He has appeared in all media and for sports occurred. A year later, and finished the championship for which it was selected, continues to work for ING.
I doubt also of the interest of the content is generated from the island. In fact, do not know if the people what it is and where they are islands, badly in terms of effectiveness: We think that our campaigns are going to people and people do not see the case studies.
Then there is originality. I will not doubt if it is not copied or creativity, I assume that is a coincidence. But you can not reward. Sorry. Because the lesson that we give to the sector is to keep their good ideas for clients with deep pockets. What they're saying is that the same ideas, but infinitely more effective if they do not have resources, have no prize. Is that it?"
Then Alex (http://thepolishbureau.com/showroom/) replied:
"Obviously, the idea of the two campaigns is the same but there are some nuances:
TERM. First, in disagreement with one of the anonymous, the first goal of the campaign was to generate a better image of Alonso and, hence, of ING, the smaller objective in the medium term. The second was to generate awareness about the islands in the short term.
SCOPE. Second, no one would escape that to generate a global profile is rather more difficult than doing so on a national or regional. And no doubt the knowledge of international Alonso, but it seems a priori more appealing and aspirational 6 months living on an island, at least for those who neither know nor support our pilot.
CONTENT. Finally, and somehow here again I disagree, but half, with the anonymous, as though giving the reason for the interest of the content generated by the winner will be more interesting and continued in the first case, and as I said when speaking the deadline is an important part in achieving the objective in the case of the islands most important was to generate content for the campaign to increase the noise and viral with it.
Same approach to different problems, with slightly different strategies. The two, an A in terms of viralization and 2.0 agitation. Agreed that there should be an original campaign detract. Now, of course, a much more ambitious goal of the second event, with a fairly higher impact."

The "Profesional Fan Campaign" Object was to communicate the ING DIRECT Sponsorship IN SPAIN. What I can't understand is why Cannes juries are just worried about international campaigns. Here in Spain all people is surprised with this result.

The "Profesional Fan" job offer is totally real. The tone of communication is more credible, more realistic. It doesn't seem an advertising communication. Even the website was just a place where you could apply, as any other job offer. In addition, the aim was only national and they even reach international repercussion.
The tone of communication in "The best job" campaign is kind of obviously advertising(an incredible amount of money for an incredible job).
It's, of course, a great campaign. But we can't understand why "Profesional Fan" wasn't neither in shortlists.

Fernando was not entered in the Cyber category. I have watched the whole case study and feel it would have rated highly IF it had been put in. But it wasn't - hence no shortlisting. Done.

I've seen "Professional Fan" in Direct or Promotional Mkt, for sure. Unbelievable.
