MANILA – The Asia Pacific Tambuli Awards has named Andre Kassu, Partner & Chief Creative Officer, Crispin Porter & Bogusky (CP+B) Brazil, as the 2018 Jury President of the Humanity & Culture Executive Jury. Andre will also serve as juror in the Creative Executive Jury.
The pioneer award show globally that honors brands that do good and do well, the APAC Tambuli Awards celebrates brands that show the seamless integration of creativity + human good + results. Case study entries must demonstrate how brands uplift society, create positive change, and correlate purpose with purchase.
The APAC Tambuli Awards is not an award on charity, advocacy, pro bono, or CSR advertising, even if those campaigns are welcome and encouraged to enter. The award, however, focuses on mainstream brand campaigns that celebrate humanity, inspire purpose, and deliver results.
Andre Kassu comments, “real change doesn’t happen when it’s spoken. It happens when it’s put into practice. Changing is not about taking advantage, it’s about making a difference in people’s lives. Tambuli Awards follows this way of thinking and because of this pioneering spirit, for seeing it before everyone else, for bringing up the discussion, I will cross the world to be on this jury.”
