ADFEST is delighted to announce that the ADFEST + D&AD Workshop will return to Thailand next month, showcasing D&AD’s 2017 award winners.
 

Presented by Tim Lindsay, CEO of D&AD in London, the session will take a deep dive into the macro trends that inspired 2017's D&AD winners. From what it is to be human to today's fractured society and rapidly changing communications landscape, Lindsay will reflect on the cultural trends that last year’s D&AD winners successfully tapped into, or predicted.
 

“ADFEST and D&AD have collaborated with each other for a number of years. We believe that the best Awards shows challenge and stimulate the industry to do better. They set a bar and a standard. They reward and motivate creative people. They encourage new talent to join our industry and help that talent prosper. They train and nurture our practitioners. They encourage innovation, experimentation and risk taking. They are woven into the fabric of our industry and deliver enormous value,” he says, explaining D&AD’s partnership with ADFEST.
 

Lindsay has spent 40 years in advertising as joint managing director of BBH; managing director of Y&R London; CEO, then European President, then Worldwide President of Lowe Howard-Spink/Lowe Lintas/Lowe Worldwide; Chairman of Publicis UK and President of TBWA\UK and Ireland.
 

He joined D&AD as CEO in 2011 and is also non-executive chairman of advertising agency network the Gate Worldwide.
