Says Dave Brady, CD, Colenso: "It's fantastic to see this work being
recognised. Collaborating with Harry on the whole Milk Slams campaign
was a real privilege. To be able to make this kind of work for milk is a
real testament to the progressive nature of our clients. Fingers
crossed for June 1st."
