  • Leo Burnett’s two creatives selected for Clio’s workshop

    MUMBAI: Just after triumphing as Agency of the Year at the Delhi Ad Club awards, Leo Burnett’s Delhi office has got another feather in its cap. the agency’s copy group head Rondeep Gogoi and art director Sumonto Ghosh have been selected to attend the FutureGold: Young Creative Portfolio Review workshop at this year’s Clio Festival in Miami’s South Beach.

     
     
    Only six teams from across the world were to be selected for this workshop, and the two young creatives from Delhi were “amazed, or rather blown when we got the news.” Clio will be also sponsoring stay and passes for the festival.

    “I feel it is a really big opportunity to fly the Burnett India flag not just nationally, but internationally. And I assure you, we will give it our very best shot,” said Gogoi.

     
     
    “Both Rondeep and Sumonto are young, talented new age creatives full of ideas. They are always focused in creating award-winning campaigns for the brands they work on. They have both been recognized by Campaign Brief Asia as two of the hottest creatives and their work has been recognized within the Leo Burnett network and at major advertising festivals. I am very proud and extremely happy that they are getting this great exposure,” added Leo Burnett Delhi creative director Rupam Borah.
     
     
    Gogoi has been with Leo Burnett for the last four years. His current portfolio is Benetton, Godfrey Philips, McDonald’s, Coca-Cola, Le Bon, Chanakya Cinema. Some of the major awards he has won are Merit at One Show for Sanctuary Asia Tiger Graph, Grand Prix at AAAI for the same, Outdoor Bronze at AAAI for Benetton Eye Chart and Outdoor Silver for McDonald’s Helmet.

  • Ten finalists from Mumbai selected for Hungama TV Captains’ Hunt 2005

    MUMBAI: Hungama TV’s Captain Hunt 2005 Mumbai auditions, which were held on 20 August at Poddar International School and on 21 August at Ryan International School, saw 10 kids being selected from Mumbai.

    Actor Mandira Bedi judged the potential of the kids to see if they had what it takes to be a captain.
     
     
     

    Kick started last year, the hunt saw an over-whelming response across major cities and on similar grounds this year.

    The Hungama TV Captains’ Hunt will evaluate the kids on parameters beyond the realm of academics – similar to the way creativity; articulation, out-of-the-box thinking and teamwork formed the basis of the judging criteria at the last year’s auditions.

    What the winners get is something phenomenal – they win the opportunity to run the channel with their inputs and suggestions heavily incorporated. They will also be the face of Hungama TV and have opportunities to appear on-air. The Captains of the first year were significantly responsible for the phenomenal success of the channel, providing key inputs on programming and promotion.

    Hungama TV programming head Zarina Mehta said, “Today Indian kids are growing to be confident, spirited, creative, witty and are very clear about what ‘enjoyment’ and ‘fun’ mean to them. Hungama TV is proud to once again give them the opportunity to create their own brand of entertainment. We value their suggestions since they know best what works for them.”

    The hunt across major cities is currently on to select seven kids from across India to be part of Hungama TV’s advisory board and to be the faces of the channel.
