Award-winning creative Selina Ang is joining ADFEST’s prestigious panel of Jury Presidents in 2009, overseeing the judging panel for Direct Lotus.
“I really enjoyed ADFEST 2008 and look forward to 2009."
"The work, the people, the energy and the earnest desire to learn made this year’s experience very inspiring,” says Ang, executive director, OgilvyOne Worldwide Malaysia, who was also part of the Direct Lotus judging panel in 2008.
“Made in Asia’ is an interesting theme as it reflects the confidence of the region."
"We do lead the world in many ways, so I look forward to seeing great ideas that prove the sun rises in the East.” says Ang.
As executive CD at OgilvyOne Worldwide Malaysia, Ang boasts an impressive stash of awards on her shelf of trophies.
In 2008, OgilvyOne picked up Asia’s only Gold Award at the International ECHO Awards, which are considered the ‘Oscars of DM’, for its DHL Malaysia campaign; in addition to a Bronze for Levi’s and a ‘Leader’ award for Guinness.
On 1 September 2008, she was promoted as executive director of OgilvyOne Worldwide Malaysia, in addition to her role as executive CD.
In 2007, OgilvyOne also scored a loot of awards at the Asia Interactive Awards, ECHO, Cannes and DMA Awards in Malaysia.
Prior to OgilvyOne Worldwide Malaysia, Ang worked at Ogilvy Direct, Batey Ads, McCann-Erickson and Lowe in Singapore.
“The DM standard in Asia Pacific is very high. Australia and New Zealand always offer a fresh spin."
"India is a creative powerhouse so they always bring something to the table. Japan had a great showing last year with their strength in digital channels."
"What I’d like to see is China having a bigger presence, it would be good to know how DM is developing there."
"And of course Malaysia doesn’t do too shabbily in the international shows.” says Ang.
Ang joins an elite panel of Jury Presidents at ADFEST next year, including: Sir John Hegarty, BBH London; Mark Tutssel, Leo Burnett Chicago; Prasoon Pandey, Corcoise Films Mumbai; Suthisak Sucharittanonta, BBDO Bangkok; and Koshi Uchiyama, GT Inc / (suit)men entertainment Japan.
