Nobay to chair at Dubai Lynx Awards
Droga5 creative chairman David Nobay has been appointed to chair the direct & sales promotion and interactive jury for the 2010 Dubai Lynx Awards, the advertising competition for the Middle East and Africa.
He joins Amir Kassaei, chief creative officer of DDB Group Germany, who will head the TV/cinema, print, outdoor and radio jury.
The media jury will be led by Barry Cupples, CEO of Omnicom Media Group Asia Pacific.
On chairing the direct & sales promotion and interactive jury Droga said: “The categories are, in my opinion, where the most ambitious creativity is happening and geographically this is a region I’ve never worked in so I’m fascinated to see what will be revealed.”
The Dubai International Advertising Festival runs from March 14 to 16. The accompanying Dubai Lynx Awards will be held on March 17.
Meanwhile, Adfest, the Asia Pacific Advertising Festival, recently announced Droga5 digital director, Brett Mitchell, to the role of jury president for the cyber category.
