Gong.jpgAfter a hiatus of almost two years the Gong Singapore Creative Circle Awards has returned, backed by tremendous support from the local creative community. More than 50 Chief Creative Officers and Executive Creative Directors came together on 30th October to deliberate over close to 650 entries during the judging.

“How can we not have a purely creative local show?” was one remark that kept on repeating when the industry came together to judge.

“To be completely honest, a few months ago, we didn’t know if this show will continue, but I’m very encouraged and thankful by the overwhelming support we received to persevere. I’m confident that we will see the best work both agency and clients are extremely proud of. It’s exciting to see the local creative community alive and kicking again!”, said 2012 Gong Chairman & Jury President Tay Guan Hin, JWT’s Regional Executive Creative Director SEA, and Global Creative Director, Lux (pictured below).
