AdAsia 2011 announced Social Media contests around "Uncertainty: The New Certainty"

Asian Federation of Advertising Associations (AFAA) presents its 27th edition of AdAsia 2011 which will be held in Delhi from October 31 to November 03, 2011. As a build up to the Grand Event, the Organising Committee of AdAsia 2011 has announced 3 exciting contests on Social Media around the Theme – Uncertainty the New Certainty. AdAsia, Asia’s biggest Marketing, Media and Advertising Congress is a biennial event catering to the best in Management, Marketing, Advertising, Media and Communications Industry. The much awaited Congress will be held in India after a gap of eight years.
 
The theme of AdAsia 2011 is “Uncertainty: The New Certainty.” We live in a dynamic world that is currently at an inflection point witnessing a realignment of global economic leadership. Post the global meltdown, Asia leads the world on the path of recovery, thus attracting attention the world over. There is a new paradigm as far as Asia is concerned, and the one thing that is certain is uncertainty. Brands are on an experimental spree through multi-layered communication channels right from Twitter, Facebook to mobiles and micro-blogging as the new evolving mediums. Mastering this ever-evolving operating environment and its impact on business is gaining critical significance to long-term sustainability. AdAsia 2011 will not only chronicle the changes but also provide a glimpse of impending opportunities and challenges that lie ahead in this dynamic field of advertising and marketing.
 
To build on the excitement in the social media space, stimulating contests are being held. On twitter, participants are urged to interpret the AdAsia 2011 theme Uncertainty: The New Certainty on Twitter: TweetUrThought using the #AdAsia2011 tag. The best tweet will be awarded a Conference Registration Waiver. Url: https://twitter.com/#!/adasia2011, Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adasia2011.
