The distinguished DDB mentors will provide a broad and global perspective on advertising and communications, and its influence over society and the ‘talk value’ it generates.

They will have to utilize the tools and information they receive in order to develop a campaign according to the provided creative brief.
Bob Scarpelli, Chairman and Chief Creative Officer of DDB Worldwide, said: “DDB is the world's most awarded agency, and it has maintained this position by continuing to invest in talented people. I believe it is imperative to nurture and grow our young creatives now, and this is why we are proud sponsors of ADFEST Young Lotus 2008.”
