“Judging the DAF awards this year demonstrates that the region is thinking big and acting big in digital," said Paul Gage, regional planning director, APAC, with Iris Worldwide. "It's no longer just an add-on to a TV campaign, but brands and agencies are genuinely looking at how they can build participation throughout their initiatives.”
Ashok Lalla, global head of Digital Marketing, Infosys, said work based on a single sharp insight and a strong idea stood out, with several entries that "Made me go, 'Aha, wish I had thought of it!'”
