Long-Tme Adfest Organizer has Joined Global Best Digital Advertising Awards as Managing Director/Asia

    NEW YORK, NY, December 01, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Many advertising creatives in the Asia/Pacific region will know Boonsri Trakulpatanakon for the 12 consecutive years of work she accomplished in organizing and managing one of Asia's premier advertising awards and festivals, AdFest. As managing director with Plannova Co., Ltd., Boonsri also has 7 consecutive years additional experience of organizing two other regional competitions, B.A.D. and Adman. Boonsri has played a great part in the longevity and success of these all three advertising awards.

Now Boonsri has joined Global Best Digital Advertising Awards (GBA) and will be bringing all her experience and expertise to help establish the first global advertising award and festival in Asia. The competition will shine the spotlight on the region's creative talent and resources to the global advertising and business communities.

As GBA Managing Director Asia, Boonsri is responsible for organizing and promoting GBA in the Asia/Pacific region. An additional title of International Liaison tasks Boonsri the role of host and facilitator to the global advertising community supporting, participating in, and attending the Global Best Digital Advertising Awards Festival and Events.

The venue for Global Best Digital Advertising Awards (GBA) has been changed. Originally slated for Phuket, AdFest's recent announcement of their move to Phuket just 1 month prior to GBA's scheduled event has given opportunity for GBA to rethink their own festival plans.

GBA is pleased to announce that The 2011 Global Best Digital Advertising Awards will be held in the world class destination of Bangkok. Exact location in Bangkok of the event venue(s) will be announced soon.

GBA is excited about bringing the award to Bangkok for numerous reasons, including being located in a major Asian city and business hub. Bangkok is a modern and sophisticated, world renowned destination which, as host to a global advertising awards festival and event, allows GBA to truly showcase the advertising, production and other resources of the region.

According to GBA managing director, Robert Tucker, "Last summer's political unrest is no reason for us to not consider Bangkok, but even more reason to embrace Bangkok. Other cities around the world have far worse problems, but events still go on. We put our faith and and trust in this city and the Thai people and look forward to showing the global advertising community an exciting and rewarding experience."

Companies or organizations, regional or worldwide, wishing to participate in the festival, partnership, expo or discussion/speaking opportunities should contact Boonsri.

Deadline for the competition is February 15th, 2011. An international jury of advertising creative, production and digital technology experts will be choosing the winners from the field of finalists who will receive trophies at a gala evening event in April. The Awards Festival, April 25th - 29th in Bangkok will include discussions, seminars and other special events. Winners of the international student competition will be chosen by the same VIP jury and will receive awards at a special event during the April festival.
