George Jabbour President Advertising Association

Elected as Arabad’s Man of the Year is a well-deserved title for a great adman: Andre Rizk!

When I was a little boy watching my favourite TV programmes, Andre Rizk’s ads constituted the advertising culture of my childhood!

After I joined the advertising industry in the late 80s, Andre was one of the greatest names for creative and advertising professionalism. Today, after making a career in the communications field, Andre is still one of the major, if not the best name in our industry despite all the changes experienced throughout the last decades!

What can I say about a man who set the base of modern advertising in Lebanon, who defied age and generations, who has the ability, the energy, the perseverance, the know-how, and the dedication to focus on advertising and nothing else but advertising! Chapeau to a great adman! A real communications man who evolved through the years without getting old!

Chapeau to you Andre Rizk, Arabad’s Man of the Year 2016!

A very well-deserved title!
