When you fake the work,
you fake the award.

Ghost/Scam ads are fake campaigns that are produced for the sole purpose of submitting them into award shows. Although the agencies may beg to differ, it’s a known fact that many ghost ads have never aired, or aired once at most (to meet competition regulations) and have no effect whatsoever on the brands they pretend to promote. It is estimated that 10% of all ads submitted to award shows are fake ads aimed at expanding the agencies trophy cabinet and ego. Help us fight this unethical trend and restore our profession’s integrity!
