Commenting on his appointment, Raj Kamble said:
“I’m thrilled to be chairing the Asia Jury at this year’s ANDY Awards Regionals. The ANDYs have always stood for fearless creativity and bold ideas. With 90% of this jury having served as Jury Presidents at shows like Cannes Lions, D&AD and The One Show, we have the chance to not only recognize but also advocate for groundbreaking work from Asia. Let’s push creative boundaries together and make waves on the global stage.”
The ANDYs continue to evolve their commitment to celebrating creativity, innovation, and effectiveness. By turning jurors into advocates, the show ensures that winning work not only gets recognized regionally but also gains the momentum to shine on the world’s biggest stages.
