Nakul Chopra, President, AAAI, said, "For the first time we are honouring advertisers at the Goafest. This award is very special as it acknowledges the pivotal role played by these men and women we call clients but who have acquired a much larger status in the overall brand scenario. These are the select few individuals who have helped build and nurture brands, supporting their agency partners every step of the way.”

Raj Nayak, President, The Advertising Club, added, “As an industry, we need to salute these brand custodians who stake the reputation and money of their brands on the creativity of their advertising agencies. They literally take that leap of faith every day. Having them at Goafest would be very inspirational for the audience.”

Ashish Bhasin, Chairman of Goafest, said, “We always celebrated advertising agencies, digital companies, production houses and media companies at Goafest. Now with top advertisers being honoured, the festival is more complete.”

Ramesh Narayan, Chairman of AAAI, commented, “This award really places the advertiser at the centre of the communication effort, and rightfully so. The response for nominations from advertising agencies was quite good and I am confident this would go on to become one of the highlights of the Goafest in the years ahead. What is advertising without the advertiser?”
