Honour for Sri Lanka as JWT duo rock Thailand

Ralston Joseph and Sithum Walter, two of JWT Colombo's emerging creative stars were selected to represent Sri Lanka at the Young Lotus creative challenge at Adfest 2009 that concluded last weekend in Pattaya.

The selection was initially made locally as young creative talent from across agencies in Sri Lanka had to compete in an intense local competition run by the Accredited Advertising Agencies Association Sri Lanka (4As) before they are chosen to represent Sri Lanka.

Ralston and Sithum emerged winners in the local competition and then went to challenge other countries which included teams from Australia, Japan, Singapore, Indonesia, India, Seoul, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and a host of other nations at the ADFEST 2009 Young Lotus Workshop in Pattaya.

The teams were asked to create a multimedia campaign that would encourage young college graduates to consider a career in advertising.
