David Droga, Founder and Creative Chairman of Droga5 and one of the world’s most awarded creatives, will chair both the TV/Cinema, Print, Outdoor & Radio jury and the Integrated jury at the newly launched 3-day Spikes Asia Advertising Festival this year.
Droga, who arrives in Boracay next week for the Creative Guild’s Kidlat Awards, commented on his appointment: “Although I only lived and worked in Asia for just over 2 years [as Regional Creative Director of Saatchi & Saatchi Asia], it has had such a profound influence on my career to date. I feel so grateful to have had the opportunity and still look to the region for inspiration, motivation and unmitigated bravery.”
“We are privileged to have David onboard to chair at the re-launched Spikes,” said Terry Savage, Chairman of Cannes Lions who with Haymarket are joint organisers of the Festival. “Having worked in Asia, David has an in-depth knowledge and understanding of the region’s advertising and communications industry which will be a valuable asset when taking on this important role, the results of which will ultimately shape this territory which is clearly now a centre of creative excellence”, continued Savage. The festival is set in Singapore from Sept. 16-18.
