The sole Asia-based jury president is Rei Inamoto, chief creative officer and vice-president with AKQA, who will lead the Mobile Lions Jury.
"With this group of presidents it's no exaggeration to say that there can never have been such a talented—not to say intimidating—group ever assembled to judge the world's best work," said Philip Thomas, CEO of Lions Festivals. "More than ever, anyone winning a Cannes Lion in 2013 can bask in the knowledge that their work has been judged by not only some of the biggest names currently at work today, but by giants from the history of advertising and communications."
