Commenting on the Awards Tim Waldron, Managing Director of Haymarket Asia, say, “With the huge increase in entries this year, what is clear is that this has not diluted the quality of the work. There were some outstanding pieces of work and we were lucky to have a jury of such calibre that these were judged with integrity and the worthy winners awarded and celebrated.”
The Awards Gala was the culmination of the Asian Marketing Effectiveness Festival which saw a packed programme taking place across Thursday and Friday. Delegates attended seminars from Ogilvy Group UK, Young & Rubicam, DDB, Red Spider, McCann Worldgroup, Sina, JWT China and many more. Ongoing throughout were the exhibitions showcasing the shortlist and allowing delegates to learn and be inspired from the some of the greatest work in the region.
Speaking about the Festival, Terry Savage, Chairman of Cannes Lions, who with Haymarket are joint organisers of the Festival, comments, “This has been a fantastic Festival, the content was topical and thought-provoking, the standard of work high and the energy and buzz noticeable. Everyone has taken something away from it, both on an educational and inspirational level. It really has set a benchmark for the region's industry to aspire to.”
