Dragon-Slayer Nadeswaran not allowed near APPIES 2024

Popular columnist R. Nadeswaran (aka Citizen Nades) is merciless in his style of investigative journalism.

He looks as dangerous as his brutal exposés. The threatening look in his red-hot eyes will chill you to the bone.

But however much we love or loathe him, for his scoops, he’s been barred from our event.

Because our policy is that only marketing leaders are allowed to judge The APPIES.

Nades, whose pen is mightier than any dragon’s flame, won’t be grilling the presenters at The APPIES.

We’d rather stick to our current crop of highly competent judges for The APPIES Festival on July 11 & 12, 2024.

Festival of Exposés: Stories behind great marketing campaigns

While we’ve kept Nades’ investigative gaze at bay, our marketer-judges have stepped up their game.

At The APPIES, they are seeking marketing brilliance that doesn’t dim under the harsh glare of scrutiny.

This is where mediocrity perishes and excellence finds a home where the exacting standards are applied.

Who Benefits?

PRESENTERS: Gain unparalleled exposure and feedback from industry giants. If you can impress them, you can impress anyone.

AUDIENCE: Shuttle between presentation halls and learn from Malaysia’s leading marketing strategists. It’s like speed dating, but for brilliant ideas and learnings.

JUDGES: Engage directly with campaign creators and assess real-world marketing solutions. And soak in the practical learnings.

Festival Doors Open

From Best in Non-Food FMCG to Best in Financial Services, and from Best in Govt/NGO to Best in AI, and more…

Each has a chance to prove that their marketing is more than just a flash in the pan – it’s the real deal.

Join us for two days of marketing brilliance that will impress even the most cynical journalist or judge.

Don’t miss this chance to prove your campaigns are the success stories even Citizen Nades will applaud.

If we let him in, that is.

Announcement of Finalists: 5th July 2024.

APPIES FESTIVAL – Judging & Presentations: 11- 12 July, 2024.

After 20 years of evolving technology, shifting market trends, and adapting to changing consumer behaviour, the media landscape has nearly reached saturation.

We’ve optimised to the fullest, providing advertisers with abundant choices across technology, platforms, data-driven marketing, CTV, OTT, DOOH, influencer marketing, retail, etc.

Media specialists have diversified, but with more options comes the challenge of maintaining income growth. The industry is expanding, but revenue isn’t keeping pace.

Now, we’re at a TURNING POINT: time to explore and harness new sustainable revenue streams. While GroupM forecasts a 7.8% global ad revenue growth in 2024, challenges like antitrust regulation, AI and copyright issues, and platform bans persist.  

Collaboration is key: partnerships that thrive on synergy, shared values, and aligned goals are becoming increasingly essential.

Hence, the Malaysian Media Conference, in its 20th year, has assembled the partners and players under one roof on October 25 for a day of learning, sharing, and exploring.
