The NameGame which we announced here had a simple goal and even simpler participation "rules" (email your suggestions to a specific email address = not very hard to do). But all is fair in love and war and nobody reads on the internet, so suggestions were being sent all over the place - and some entrepreneurial people even tracked down the agency - also not hard to do. After all, the name game and the agency who wanted a new one were mentioned in Dagens Media (Sweden), Propaganda (Norway), Børsen (Denmark) and as far away as Brazil in Clube de Criação de São Paulo. Well, in the end nobody is getting points for being internet sleuths here, but for their actual name suggestions. Without further ado here are the winners that the crew at the "formely known as Lunds" ad agency in Copenhagen decided were the best, after the jump. ;)
1st Prize - an iPod as he chose, plus of course seeing his suggestion on the door of an actual ad agency in Copenhagen! Name : MARASCHINO Author : Conny Strömblad a.k.a adgrunt crstrom. Congratulations! Motivation: a Maraschino is more than a cherry. It's a cherry that's soul purpose is to be "on top" of a variety of things. 2nd Prize - the Ipod Shuffle 512 Mb Name : Kittenlipper Author : Dennis Dryden Dennis even had the cheek to suggest "The Dennis Dryden Ad agency". Hehe. 3rd Prize - the book "Creative Advertising" Name : Sould Author : Sandeep Rajan Motivation: You can even sell souls/You've sold your souls to selling. Congratulations kids!

I don't speak Danish, so I decided I'd stick with a Hispanic-themed strategy that I'm sure will be original in Copenhagen...." Elevator – Mette Lissau Sisu - suggested by Jared Folkmann - "Sisu is a Finnish concept that combines inner strength, determination, perseverance in the face of adversity, and a strong work ethic.
