publive-imageSpikes Asia Advertising Festival, the regional event for creative excellence in advertising and communications for Asia has announced the appointment of Elsie Nanji, Managing Partner of Red Lion as Jury President of Design category who will convene in Singapore to chair the Design juries at this year's awards.

Elsie Nanji is managing partner at Red Lion, the design wing of Publicis Communications in India, and is a multiple award winner at both Indian and international award shows, including the Clio Awards, Cannes Lions, D&AD, Spikes Asia and The One Show.

Elsie has represented India as a returning jury member in several international award shows, including D&AD, the Clio Awards, AdFest and more recently as part of the design jury at Spikes Asia 2009 and the Cannes Lions in 2010.

She was the founding partner of Ambience, an agency that has featured in top five creative agency lists from the very first year it opened its doors, 20 years ago. Ambience has since joined the Publicis Worldwide network and, in April 2007, Elsie was offered to return to her passion for design and partner Publicis in creating a design cell called Red Lion.

In 2011, Red Lion was voted as one of the top five design brands in the country by The Economic Times. Red Lion has been the winner of a gold award at Goafest, both a silver and gold spikes at Spikes Asia, and a silver lion at Cannes, all in the design category.

Her hobbies include designing private homes, restaurants and corporate offices. Her design and concept for the Olive Restaurant chain earned it a place in the Gold List of the Condé Nast Traveler magazine in 2004. More recently, her design for the newly opened Four Seasons Mumbai's rooftop bar AER has been awarded 'Best Ambience' by the Times Food Guide in 2010.

Over the last five years, Elsie has been running the half marathon in the Standard Chartered Mumbai Marathon, and in 2009 was awarded the gold medal in her category.

“I'm delighted and honoured to be the President of the Design Jury at Spikes Asia this year. Having been a jury member at the very first design awards at Spikes in 2009, I discovered a world of fresh perspectives and leaps of imagination where the creative power of some of the most fertile minds in the world was unleashed,” says Elsie Nanji.

All design innovation is an exercise in shaping the future, and has a bearing on every aspect of the human condition - from how our landscape evolves to the way we communicate. Spikes Asia has gone a long way in commemorating and celebrating this vision, and I am hoping the 2011 Festival will further set new benchmarks in the world of design,” continues Elsie.
