Josy Paul, chairman and chief creative officer of BBDO India has been appointed the jury chairman - radio; while Bobby Pawar, chief creative officer of Mudra Group has been appointed the jury chairman - out-of-home and ambient for the Creative Abby awards at Goafest 2010.
Commenting on the appointments, Ajay Chandwani, director, Percept and chairman, Creative Abbys at Goafest 2010 says, "Josy's lateral take on the most mundane issues compels you to look for freshness, which is the theme for Goafest this year. While Bobby is a great believer in ideas that are media neutral and enjoys through the line work with different touch points."
