Apac fests tie the knot

EditorNews Make a Comment

SINGAPORE, Tuesday: Tangrams, Apac’s largest strategy & effectiveness awards, has announced the alignment of its key awards dates with those of the Spikes Asia this year.

In a month, on Monday 15 April, the Tangrams Strategy & Effectiveness awards will open on the same day as Spikes Asia awards.

The new arrangement allows entrants to submit outstanding campaigns into both awards and have them recognised for strategy and effectiveness as well as creative excellence.

Entrants now have extra time post-Cannes Lions to enter work into the Tangrams; and prepare submissions for a single piece of work once, rather than multiple times throughout the year.

Spikes festivals director Joe Pullos said, “We want to transform Spikes Asia into a holistic festival and awards programme that not only serves as a benchmark for creativity excellence, but also for marketing strategy and effectiveness in our industry and brings together brands and agencies alike.”

Judging of both awards will take place simultaneously during Spikes Asia Festival of Creativity. The Tangrams Strategy & Effectiveness awards show will be presented on stage throughout all three days at the Spikes Asia Festival of Creativity.


“Entrants now have time post-Cannes to enter submissions for a single piece of work once, rather than multiple times.”
