One of the world’s most respected advertising leaders Mark Tutssel will be Jury President of the Press, Poster and Print Craft Lotus Awards at ADFEST 2009, where he will also appear as a keynote speaker.
As Global Chief Creative Officer at Leo Burnett, Tutssel is one of the world’s most awarded creatives, overseeing 94 global offices.
Since joining Leo Burnett more than 20 years ago, Tutssel has picked up every major creative award including the Cannes Grand Prix, 20 Cannes Lions, and four consecutive years as Most Effective Agency in America at the Effie Awards.
When Tutssel was Executive Creative Director of Leo Burnett London between 1999 and 2001, the agency won an astonishing 135 awards and 15 Grand Prix, making it the most awarded agency in the world in 2001.
"I have come across Mark on many occasions but I have never been able to introduce myself to him yet. Having said that, I feel that I already know him very well because whenever I engage in conversation with any industry leaders, I always hear so many good things about him. ADFEST 2009 is going to be a blockbuster with Mark’s presence,” says Jimmy Lam, President of ADFEST.
In addition to being Jury President for Press, Poster and Print Craft, Tutssel will sit on the Jury for the prestigious 360 and INNOVA Lotus Awards. These awards will also be judged by the Jury Presidents for Film, Radio, Outdoor, Direct, Cyber, Film Craft, New Director and Design.
Leo Burnett’s most awarded agencies in the Asia Pacific include Leo Burnett Mumbai and Leo Burnett Sydney, the agency behind the innovative ‘Earth Hour’ campaign for WWF.
In Singapore, Leo Burnett’s interactive agency Arc is one of the region’s most awarded digital agencies.
ADFEST takes place between 19-21 March 2009 in Pattaya, Thailand.
