New York, NY. This past political season saw a bumper crop of fine political ads but none finer than the promo “Been There” for HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher which won two Gold Awards at the annual Promax Promo Awards Competition. It won for “News/Information Program Spot” and it was the only Gold winner in the “Funniest Promo” category.
