Over the years, Emirates NBD has created marketing campaigns that engage with customers in ever more creative ways. As with our products and services, Emirates NBD’S advertising campaigns are about challenging the status quo and breaking new ground.” Savage added, “Every year as organisers we choose the brand that has truly stood out as being creatively brave and willing to take risks. Dubai Lynx believe that the more creative a business, the better return they will see, and we are delighted to honour Emirates NBD with this in 2016.” This year marks the 10th annual Dubai Lynx which will see the busiest programme of content to date take place across the three-day Festival. Emirates NBD will be awarded onstage at the Awards Ceremony, set for 9 March, 2016.
