Singapore: BBDO Pakistan continued their stellar awards run this year by winning the first ever Glass Spike, along with a Gold, Silver and 5 Bronzes for their campaign “The Bridal Uniform.” Designed in collaboration with Ali Xeeshan Theater Studio and Mint PR, the campaign for UN Women raised awareness of child marriages by merging the designs of a school uniform and a bridal gown, and then hijacking the Bridal Couture Week in Pakistan to launch it.
