Laeeq Ali, President, the Advertising Club Bangalore, said, “As the Advertising Industry continues to grow, more and more new opportunities and newer challenges seem to be emerging. Our theme this year “Breaking The Rules” focused on recognizing the digital creative content that broke conventional rules in order to capture the new age consumer. Over the last two decades, Bangalore has emerged as the key advertising hub of South India and has become home to several international and national agencies. Apart from this, several home-grown agencies have also made a mark, making Bangalore the No. 2 city for advertising talent after Mumbai."

Malavika Harita, Chairperson of Big Bang Awards, added, “I have been involved with the Big Bang Awards for the last 20 years. This year we saw a lot of emerging creative and digital agencies and some of the ideas were quite innovative and exciting and we are hoping that next year we can expand our reach and scope even further.”
