Speaking about the Shortlists, Jaime Ng, Festival Director, Spikes Asia, said: “We’re thrilled to announce Spikes Asia’s shortlisted pieces of work for 2024, ahead of the Event itself. Many interesting trends have arisen from this year’s work and we’re excited to deepdive into them with our exclusive ‘Insights with the Jury’ stage sessions. A big thank you to our Juries who have a huge responsibility - giving up their time, energy and expertise to set the benchmark for creative excellence in APAC. We look forward to seeing the work that the Juries will go on to award and congratulations to all of those who have been shortlisted.”

This year we've seen exponential growth across many of our Awards, including Creative Effectiveness, which was first introduced in 2012. This year it’s grown by 59% and sets a new all time record for entries, demonstrating the region's enduring commitment to creativity that drives impact.
