New York Festivals announced today that JWT Dubai has six pieces across categories short listed in the final stage of the 2007 New York Festivals International Advertising competition. This fantastic achievement demonstrates JWT Dubai’s drive to making its mark in the advertising arena on a global scale.
This latest announcement only helps cement the Dubai agency’s reputation as one of the most awarded agency’s in the entire GCC. “JWT MENA is having a great year, and this latest announcement reflects our ongoing commitment to delivering creative excellence to our clients around the Middle East & North Africa. With awards from international and regional panels alike, we are delighted by the recognition the team is receiving, as it proves our passion for work”, commented Chafic Haddad, Executive Creative Director, JWT Dubai.
Last month, JWT Dubai earned the rare distinction of being the only agency in the region to be selected to appear in the highly respected D&AD Awards Annual 2007 for their work on a direct mailer for client AA paper. The D&AD award is universally acknowledged to be the advertising industry’s most difficult award to win. At the recently concluded Dubai Lynx Awards, which took place on 19 March, 2007, JWT MENA was the most awarded network winning 1 Grand Prix (Outdoor), 3 Gold, 7 Silver, 7 Bronze and 68 shortlists.
While receiving awards is a great way to gain international acknowledgement for the company and the teams whose work has been recognized, the management of JWT prefers to note that the rewards were a JWT team effort, and not just because of any single individual in the company. “We are one family; everyone at JWT has an essential role that led to this kind of global acclaim. Without the work of the entire agency- from planners and client servicing to studio and production, we could not be as successful as we have been. Reaching the finals of this prestigious competition is a pat on the back for every member of the agency, and we celebrate these achievements as a unit,” concluded Haddad.
