The APPIES is not just another Awards presentation, but a knowledge sharing global platform, educational in nature – one that sets the stage to deliver brilliant concepts, unique creative strategies and astounding results!
3 reasons why I enjoyed Appies 2012:
* The creative concepts are so out-of-the-box and refreshing
* The presentation format is short, sharp and concise
* Both clients and agencies are passionate about doing what they do – and it shows!
