BestMediaInfo Bureau | Mumbai | April 22, 2015
Kyoorius, in association with D&AD, have announced that the Kyoorius Advertising & Digital Awards 2015 jury sessions will be open to the public. Kyoorius will offer jury tours from April 29 to May 1, and creative professionals will also have the opportunity to interact with and learn from the jury members through a series of Kyoorius FYIdays, which will also be held over the three days.
The sessions will take place at the Indian School of Design & Innovation at Lower Parel in Mumbai. Unlike other awards shows, all jury members gather in Mumbai to review, discuss and recognise the best work entered over an intensive session. Last year, Kyoorius opened its doors to professionals, media and the community at large to observe jury members debate over entries as well as peruse some of the most cutting edge work in advertising and digital produced. This year, they have continued the tradition once again and made the sessions more interactive through the Kyoorius FYIdays.
Rajesh Kejriwal, Founder CEO of Kyoorius, remarked, “Kyoorius and D&AD are committed to providing the Indian creative community a completely neutral and transparent platform. These tours allow anyone to observe exactly what happens at the Kyoorius Awards jury sessions and be a part of the action. At the same time, we strive to create opportunities to inform and stimulate local talent. This year, we have introduced a series of FYIdays conducted by our Advertising & Digital Awards jury members – a chance to meet and interact with some of the most respected creative minds in the world. These sessions are completely free to attend and I encourage everyone to sign up.”
Jury tours will be offered at 10 am, 2.30 pm and 5.30 pm on all the three days. Kyoorius FYIdays are led by specialist speakers on a defined subject as a series of seminars, workshops or training sessions. With a limited attendance of 80 people, Kyoorius FYIday becomes a perfect platform to interact more directly with the speaker, industry leaders, and peers.
There will be five FYIday sessions, the schedule is as follows:
April 29 | Day 1
9.00 am - 9.45 am: Tim Doherty, Chief Creative Officer, Isobar China
6.00 pm - 6:45 pm: Vicki Maguire, Deputy Executive Creative Director, Grey London
