Ted does Malaysia proud at Cannes Lions 2018

Enough cannot be said of our very own Ted Lim – Regional Chief Creative Officer of Dentsu Aegis Network (DAN) AsiaPacific.
He is shining bright for the country based out of Singapore.
An illustrious creative leader, he has been inducted into the Malaysian MC2 Advertising Hall of Fame and named the country’s top ECD by Campaign Brief Asia and many other magazines.
He now works with over 20 offices across 10 countries and helped win over 20 pitches including Uniqlo, Dulux, Coke, Mondelez and Singapore Airlines in his first 18 months at DAN.
Last year, Ted was Jury President at Cannes Lions, this year he pick up multiple Gold, Silver and Bronze for his network.

But this was the icing on the cake for his team this year….
The Cannes Lions 2018 Grand Prix for Good has been awarded to “Project Revoice.”
Created for the ALS Association from BWM Dentsu Sydney, the initiative helps those afflicted with ALS, which includes the founder of the Ice Bucket challenge, to have a voice.

ALS is also known as Motor Neurone Disease, a progressive neurodegenerative disease that, amongst other symptoms, often takes away a person’s ability to speak.
Project Revoice is a non-profit initiative with the ultimate goal to ensure that no one living with ALS will ever have to suffer being robbed of their voice.
As co-founder of the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, Pat Quinn helped give the global ALS community a voice, until the disease robbed him of his own.
This is the story of how he got it back.
In the past, people with ALS could use pre-recorded messages to communicate, but the BWM Dentsu Group worked with Canadian software
partner Lyrebird to create a complete voice clone.
This allows Pat to speak freely and naturally in his own voice, rather than a ‘machine’ voice, when linked to his eye reader assistive technology.
It took a year to bring this revolutionary speech synthesis project to life.
The man who gave ALS a voice now has his own voice back.
