London International Silver for Eardrum and The Monkeys

The most highly awarded Australian entry in The London International Awards announced overnight was Holidays for IKEA directed by Eardrum for The Monkeys. Eardrum garnered a silver statue in the Directing category. 

The accolade adds to the bronze LIA in the retail category, a gold Lion at Cannes and the round one winner for the Siren Awards for the radio spot.

Eardrum director Ralph van Dijk of Eardrum said he was extremely proud of the casting and direction of the project. "It was a pleasure bringing to life yet another excellent idea from The Monkeys," he said.
