This ensures that all work was judged equally through careful deliberations and robust discussions.
Barbara Levy, President of LIA, said: “Asia did extremely well this year. The region has three Grand LIAs in total – Taiwan won its first Grand LIA in Pharma and Medical; Bangkok won the Grand LIA in Branded Entertainment and Japan won for Transformative Business Impact. It’s very gratifying to see an Asian Grand LIA winner especially in the category of Pharma and Medical, where there are a lot more regulations to navigate.
