Are You Ready? Cuz The Media Expo Excellence Awards Are Here!

Advertising is unarguably one of the most crucial parts of culture today. Look around you and you will see a plethora of ads – each one more creative than the other. Gone are the days of basic informative advertising. Advertising now is synonymous with innovation and visual delight.

For instance, have a look at this brilliant OOH campaign placed strategically on a road side cliff in Lebanon with an unspoiled view of the sea and the beautiful skyline. As the hues of the sky and water change in the background during the course of the day, so does the colour of the woman’s hair in the billboard, reflecting the variety of colours that that the hair dye brand offers.

While, the above was a visual delight, the one below is hard hitting, impactful and gets the point across in a jiffy.

Both indoor and outdoor ads are forever re-inventing the rules and breaking traditional barriers in design and communication. And now, there’s an amazing platform which is seeking to recognize and celebrate this creativity in advertising – Media Expo Excellence Awards!

Organised by Messe Frankfurt India, this will be the first edition of Media Expo Excellence Awards and it promises to be a coveted acknowledgement of creative work in the advertising industry.
