I must congratulate our creative leadership team for demonstrating such high quality of work across such a wide category range. Business growth can only be sustained on the back of fantastic creative work, and our performance at Goafest 2017 is a demonstration of that.

In our business, great creativity is the best accelerator and what pleases me is that all our creative agencies have performed so well at Goafest 2017.”
