Lim was also appointed Jury Chairman for Malaysia Effie awards in 2012 and 2013.

Lim said about his appointment as a Head of Jury, “Having been involved in the Effies in the past two years, I am thrilled for the opportunity to be part of this effectiveness awards once again, and this time on a regional scale. It will be exciting to look at the great works from the bright minds in the industry. I look forward to contributing my perspectives and a rewarding experience with APAC Effie.”

Pully Chau has a deep history of involvement with the Effie programme with multiple years of experience judging for Effie China. She has been named Advertising Person of the Year for China twice. Pully's industry experience also includes her position as CEO of Saatchi & Saatchi China, prior to her current role at Draftfcb Greater China.

"I am extremely honoured to be invited as head of jury for 2014 APAC Effie. As the head of jury of China Effie 2013, and the final jury for the most recent Effie India, I feel most excited to appreciate the best works across the region soon. Stepping into my 31st year in advertising, I am delighted to contribute to this world-class event which champions excellence in marketing effectiveness. I believe the 2014 APAC Effie would set new momentum and inspire the region," said Chau.

This completes the group of Heads of Jury that will form the Judging Committee, together with Connie Chan, the Awards and Judging Chairman for APAC Effie Awards 2014. The committee will head up the jury curated from the industry across Asia Pacific in the judging sessions.
