Am I the only one that recognises only a dozen or so names on this list?
Wait…….
Jury Presidents include the same folks who brought you that fake rescue app in Singapore, and the same folks involved in Malaysia’s worst-ever plagiarism scandal in Malaysia?
I respectfully suggest the Spikes organizers are forced to sit on their own award trophy for an hour a day, until they wake up.
When one of lionel hunts ecds at lowe hunt sydney did a scam for taronga zoo, he fired the guy straight away….and from what i understand, the guy didnt ever get Hired as an ecd to this day.
Out here in asia these guys are being placed on a pedestal and honoured for faking it.
WTF is going on?
Like the joke at the beginning of Annie Hall, Spikes knows there is a problem, but keeps needing the eggs
iSea wil be awarded this time round again, I swear!!!!
@ Ali Baba and the 40 advertising men
“Jury Presidents include the same folks who brought you that fake rescue app in Singapore, and the same folks involved in Malaysia’s worst-ever plagiarism scandal?”
Well Ali Shabaz has pulled out for personal reasons.
But Dentsu are being vewy, vewy quiet, to quote the legendary Elmer Fudd.
Being a Regional CD means you have no control or knowledge over the Region, y’know? Although that makes you (logically) a Local CD.
Bit of a misnomer, “Regional CD” eh?
Regional CD means you take all the local credit but none of the local crap.
