Ted Lim appointed jury head of Press & Poster Lotus categories at AdFest in March 2010

Ted Lim has been appointed Jury President for the AdFest Press Lotus & Poster Lotus categories. As Executive Creative Director & Deputy Chairman at Naga DDB Malaysia, Lim successfully built Naga DDB into one of Malaysia’s most consistently awarded creative powerhouse.

“I am delighted to attend AdFest as a Jury President next year as there’s something about AdFest that makes giving up family and friends for three long days to look at thousands of ads all worthwhile. Learning and sharing with some of the sharpest creative minds in the business is rewarding, enlightening and humbling at the same time. I hope to see big ideas that will make me feel small,” says Lim.

“AdFest has become a benchmark for the region’s creative output. It’s agreat platform for learning and sharing, to see what the region hasbeen up to and compare that with what the rest of the world is doing.AdFest also gives us a good idea of what the region will be entering inother global festivals in 2010,” he says.
