HFL Class of 2011 graduate Quinn Banford’s team took home the top prize this weekend in Doritos’ final “Crash the Superbowl” ad contest. Their commercial “Doritos Dogs” snagged the million dollar prize, although, in a twist, Doritos aired a second contestant first, leading people to believe the Doritos Baby ad won the top prize. The winning entry eventually aired in the third quarter.
We spoke to Quinn after he found out his team won and he told our Hollywood correspondent
“I’m totally stunned that we won but it really was such a great project to be on. Travis and Jacob [producers] worked so hard on getting this commercial to work that I feel honored to have been a part of it.”
For those of you who missed it when we initially published it, we’re re-running this week. our original interview with Quinn in the Hollywood Scoop column on page 8.
