4As Kicks Off 60th Anniversary Celebrations
PRESS RELEASE
September 2008
The Association of Accredited Advertising Agents Singapore (4As) marks its 60th anniversary this year. To mark this special event, the 4As is planning a series of events and initiatives.
A celebratory gala dinner will be held in November 2008 to kick off the celebrations. The 4As will be launching a nationwide logo competition to
redesign the 4As logo as the first part of a four-month celebration of the achievements of the association over the last 60 years. The current logo, designed by John Hagley, has been the association’s emblem since 1982.
The 4As will also launch the inaugural Singapore Young Lions Competition. The competition, which is open to young creatives under the age of 28, aims at encouraging and recognizing emerging creative talent, providing young creatives an opportunity for international exposure. The winners of the competition will go on to represent Singapore at next year’s Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival’s Young Lions competition, where they will compete against about 40 other national representatives.
The 4As will publish a commemorative book featuring the rich history of advertising in Singapore since the formation of the association's 60 years ago. It will mark the development of some of Singapore’s favourite brands while showcasing examples of works produced by the agencies from decade to decade.
The diamond celebration will culminate in the book launch cum exhibition to be held in March 2009.
A panel of industry professionals comprise the 4As 60th anniversary committee. The committee, chaired by Angus Fraser, 4As 2nd Vice President and Managing Director of JWT Singapore, will lend expertise and guidance throughout the celebrations.
In preparation for celebrating its 60th anniversary, the 4As is endeavoring to compile an archive of historical materials related to Singapore’s advertsing industry. Please help us by providing information or materials about the advertising industry dating from 1948 to the present.
