To recognize & honour under 30 professionals in Marketing, Advertising & Media
Mumbai: The India Chapter of the International Advertising Association (IAA) has announced its new Future Leaders initiative. The IAA Future Leaders Awards. Three future leaders below the age of 30 will be identified and honored. They will represent the finest talent in advertising, marketing and media, the three broad areas that the IAA is focused on.
Mr. Srinivasan K Swamy President IAA and Chairman R K SWAMY BBDO said “this is a young industry and we owe it to ourselves to recognize our future leaders, nurture them, encourage them and celebrate them. I am particularly glad we are launching this meaningful initiative in our Silver Jubilee year. It reinforces our commitment to all that is good in this industry”.
Carefully designed nomination forms will be going out shortly to key stakeholders in the marketing and communication space. Nominations would be short-listed and placed before an eminent jury of acknowledged leaders in their own field. The winners would be honored before an elite audience at the prestigious IAA Silver Jubilee Summit which will be held at Kochi on the 4th and 5th September 2015.
Monica Tata, Chairperson of the Future leaders Committee adds “apart from the obvious prestige of being recognized and honored before such a distinguished audience, the three winners would be sent on an all-expenses-paid trip to the AdAsia 2015 being held in Taipei this November. This would be a great learning experience for these young leaders”.
