“Every year the Asian Marketing Effectiveness Awards offers the chance for the next benchmark to be set for marketing effectiveness within the Asia Pacific region. We have an exciting mixture of work on the shortlist and we will watch with interest to see which pieces the jury deem worthy of being elevated to prize winning status and in turn, set the new precedent,” said Terry Savage, Chairman of Lions Festivals.
The Festival of Asian Marketing Effectiveness offers two days of content with seminars given by some of the industry's best, as well as the opportunity to network with fellow delegates. Two new additions for the under 30s will take place at this year's Festival; the Young FAME Competition which will ask planners working in advertising agencies to compete across 24 hours to devise a winning planning strategy, and the FAME Academy which aims to foster young talent by providing a tailored learning programme for strategists and planners across Asia Pacific.
Twenty-five members of the original jury will now head to Shanghai to discuss and debate the shortlisted work. The shortlist will be on display for delegates to view throughout the Festival at the Pudong Shangri-La, Shanghai, home to the 2013 Festival and Awards. The winners will be honoured and revealed for the first time during the awards ceremony which will take place on the evening of May 9.
