He told Campaign Brief Asia it was a pretty amazing experience. “South Goa is a beautiful spot. There was loads to do and see at the festival with exhibitions, lectures and water spots including para-ponting making for a well run event.”

Ogilvy’s Vodafone Zoozoos was the star of the creative part of the festival with the campaign also winning two Golds to go along with the Grand Prix. Ogilvy India won its third gold for The Economist in the Direct section. Both Bates141 and Creativeland Asia won a Gold trophy each. Creativeland Asia won 10 trophies (1 Gold, 2 Silvers, 7 Bronze) and Bates141 scored 8 trophies (1 Gold, 2 Silver, 5 Bronze).
