Declaring the result, Ramesh Narayan, Chairman, Awards Governing Council Abbys@Goafest, said, “I am very proud to be a part of an industry that cares for good causes. Raj Nayak, President of TAC, Nakul Chopra, President of AAAI, and Ashish Bhasin, Goafest Chairman, spontaneously agreed to back the first-ever industry initiative to use its creative talent and media linkages to identify, produce and run a communications campaign that would attempt to mitigate violence against women. FCB Ulka created the Call for Entries campaign and GroupM ran the campaign that attracted entries from almost all the major Indian agencies. They will also be helping to run the winning campaign across media. This is one of the finest moments for our industry. Communication as a force for good will be on display.”

A jury chaired by Amer Jaleel, Chairman and CCO, Mullen Lowe Lintas Group, judged the entries and unanimously selected the entry sent by Shilpa and Ayushi of Havas. The campaign is being produced now,” added Narayan.

Jaleel said, “Seven crackerjack, sharp and very opinionated minds in a room who happened to be women, a minefield! They however came away reconnecting with some old pals and making new ones. Right off the block we decided this wasn’t an ‘awards’ jury. We acted like clients on behalf of the AAAI and Ad Club since we were picking a campaign to run. The most valuable ‘thought’ won over craft and execution, making it a new and refreshing experience. Big congrats to the Havas Team for the stellar campaign idea!”

The other members of the jury were Tista Sen (NCD, JWT India), Malvika Mehra (Founder, Tomorrow Creative Lab), Priti Nair (Director, Curry-nation), Anita Verma (Director Digital Driftwood), Dr AL Sharada (Director, Population First), Rajni Menon (President, Carat India) and Vibha Bakshi (V2 Film & Design).
