Spikes Asia Advertising Festival returns

The festival will return to Suntec Singapore, and following consultation with the industry Spikes Asia will once again welcome entry participation from Australia and New Zealand.

To complement the existing Young Spikes Integrated Competition, new to 2010 is the Young Spikes Media Competition, which will challenge teams to develop an innovative media strategy.

The teams will work to a brief presented by a charity or non-profit organisation, whose name, objectives, strategies and target audience remain secret until they are disclosed at the briefing session.

The competing teams will have to prepare their submission in the form of a short presentation that will then be presented to and judged by a panel of media experts.

To encourage and support young professionals in the fields of marketing and communication working for marketing organisations and client companies, a reduced registration fee will be available allowing them to benefit from the learning opportunity Spikes Asia has to offer.

Terry Savage, chairman of Cannes Lions, and Haymarket publishers of Media and Campaign, organise the event.

"Learning and inspiration are more critical now than ever before, and in the next few weeks we will be announcing more innovations for 2010 along with a great line-up of speakers and seminars," said Savage.

When: September 19 – 22, 2010
