Jenny Glover, executive creative director of TBWA Hunt Lascaris, will be on the Film, Print, Outdoor and Radio Jury at the Madinat Jumeirah, where forward-thinking seminars by the industry’s most influential figures, networking events and exhibitions of the region’s best creative work will take place.

“I’m excited at the prospect of spending a few days locked in a room, surrounded by smart people and great work. Judging a show like Dubai Lynx provides a unique opportunity to learn, flex my noggin and be inspired – three things that I’m always keen to do,” says Glover.

Glover will join Wayne Bishop, MD of Omnicom Group’s PHD, Joanina Pastoll, creative director for Cross Colours South Africa and Ange Ramsay, founder and director of Ange Ramsay Media, as a South African representative at the festival. She has won 31 awards in the last four years including golds at every major international award show. Highlights include three D&AD pencils, six Gold Lions and a much-prized Cannes Grand Prix. She sits on the Creative Circle executive board and has judged at the D&AD and at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity.

“The fact that there are four South African creatives on the Dubai Lynx juries shows just how much of a role the local industry plays in the greater region. We are thrilled that the 10th anniversary of Dubai Lynx will see these candidates adding a touch of local flavour to the mix,” says Cinemark’s Yvonne Diogo.
