A art fter a gruelling judging process held in McCann Worldgroup’s office led by Executive Creative Director Joe Dy, two art directors emerged as the winners of this year’s adobo LIA Young Creative Competition. In the end, Miel Soneja, art director from Dentsu JaymeSyfu’s ‘Addvertising’, and Joza Myrene Nada, another art director from Publicis Manila’s ‘1 Percent’, were selected as the entries that best responded to the brief: how do you make working in advertising sexy again? ‘Addvertising,’ aims to encourage people working in advertising to change their social media bios to include different professions that the industry lets them experience as a results of working with different brands with different products and backgrounds. The other winning entry, ‘1 Percent’, which according to the jury is reminiscent of Google’s application test, tries to remind the advertising community of how it would be such a waste to leave the industry that wasn’t as easy as pie for anyone to be in. The two young creatives will be getting free airfare and accommodations to attend the London International Awards judging and Creative LIAisons program to be held in Las Vegas in October.
