Jury President comments

Effectiveness jury president Aparna Sundaresh, global brand development director for Paddlepop and Max, Unilever:

The winning entries stood out amongst a pool of high quality entries at AMES 2016. All winners have a strong idea that emanated from a thought provoking insight and demonstrate inspiring creative thinking coupled with a razor-sharp focus on effectiveness. Big congratulations to the winners and hope they continue to inspire outstanding work in Asia.

Media Strategy jury president Rachelle Berges, head of media and connections, integrated marketing communications, ‎Johnson & Johnson:

The potential to engage consumers is expanding and  rapidly evolving, this makes it a super exciting and challenging time for media strategists. This year, many of the campaigns which won awards also leveraged social activism to fuel the amplification of the idea. They harnessed technology, data and the most salient strength of each media to create fluid platforms for the story to evolve. The crafting of truly integrated campaigns and flawless execution are what drives effectiveness and real business results.  Congratulations to the 2016 winners for achieving this truly significant task.

Digital Strategy jury president Gerald Ang, former global digital leader, General Electric:

We were looking out for programs that were insights driven, innovative and had a good digital strategy.  More importantly, it had to be contextual to the market and demonstrate business results. We've seen some good entries and some less compelling ones. But overall, we felt good about the winners and hope this would encourage future entries to push the boundaries of marketing.

Data & Analytics and e-Commerce jury president Sunita Venkataraman, director of market insights and strategy, Asia Pacific and Japan, Intel:

I was very happy to see the quality of entries submitted from across Asia. Many countries were represented and many industries. The award-winning entries are truly best in class and represent world-class thinking and execution.
