Judges Matt Fitch and Mark Lewis (BBH London) commented:

“[This is] a really likeable piece of work, the cowboy has a great look and we loved the grit and the ‘tache, it all puts a smile on your face even before you take a closer look. This ad has a typical Skoda sense of humour and it works very well.”
