Dubai Lynx announces 2022 juries, moves talks programme to October
Dubai Lynx, MENA’s festival and awards for creative excellence in branded communications, has announced its 2022 jury members ahead of the March 16 awards show. Also, organisers have postponed the Lynx Experience from March to October.
The juries will help to benchmark work across 20 distinct Lynx Awards, including the refreshed Creative Effectiveness Lynx and PR Lynx, and the newly launched Social & Influencer Lynx, which celebrates creative social thinking and strategic influencer marketing solutions.
Philip Thomas, chairman, Dubai Lynx, said: “Our expert jury members play an integral role in raising the creative bar for the MENA region. We’re delighted to be working with them, and look forward to immersing ourselves in the outstanding body of Lynx-winning work to set the creative benchmark for the region.”
Ian Fairservice, vice-chairman, Dubai Lynx, added: “We look forward to celebrating the Dubai Lynx award-winners, alongside the MENA creative community, at the live Awards Show in March. We have made the decision to postpone the two-day learning and development Lynx Experience until October 26-27, 2022, when the Dubai Lynx Festival of Creativity will return as a focused programme of networking and talks in venues across Dubai.”
