MUMBAI: Spikes Asia, the annual award and festival for creative excellence in advertising and communications, has announced the jury members for its radio, film, print and outdoor categories.
DDB Worldwide chief creative officer Amir Kassaei is the jury president while the jury this year includes McCann Worldgroup chief creative officer Ashish Chakravarty from India.
Lions Festival CEO Philip Thomas said, “This is a very strong jury line-up befitting the high calibre of work that no doubt will be judged at Spikes Asia this year. Whilst Asia-Pacific agencies are doing well at international awards, it’s at regional awards such as Spikes Asia where more of the work will shine putting the spotlight on the region, its agencies and the creators of the work.”
