MAD Global is planning a trip to Busan, South Korea, from the 21st of August to the 27th of August for the AD STARS 2012 Festival. The trip is aimed to give participants a chance to be introduced to a variety of advertising from all over the world, at the same time, giving our participants a chance to understand culture differences and how it applies to advertising.

The concept of the festival is on-line advertising and the theme is Digital Humanism, in which not only professional advertisers but also the general public can showcase their talents. The festival has a host main events as well as exhibits, like the Seminars on Global Advertising & Marketing Expertise, Awards Ceremony, the Exhibit Screening, the Place Brand Exhibition and the AD Street. There is also the Creative Challenge and the Young Stars, in which participants can take part. Not to forget the Keynote Speech, given by Jonathan Mildenhall, VP of Global Advertising Strategy and Content Excellence at The Coca-Cola Company.

This is certainly an event we strongly encourage everyone to go for!
