Irn Bru Xtra's 'It makes no sense' has won the top prize at this year's Roses Creative Awards

Launched in October last year, the campaign was created to promote the first new permanent addition to the Irn Bru stable in 35 years, and first appeared as a large-scale wrap at Glasgow Central Station. At the time of the launch A.G Barr marketing director, Adrian Troy, commented: “The ‘no sense’ campaign reinforces Irn Bru’s confident personality, unique humour and bold taste.”

Other wins for the brand on the night were in the Print category where it took Gold for Consumer Goods Product and in the Poster Category with Golds across all four Outdoor Awards.

Also celebrating numerous wins on the night were McCann Manchester and Specsavers Creative who won a handful of Gold, Silver and Bronze accolades between them
