President’s Speech:

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Good evening and a warm welcome to the Dinamalar MADDYS 2024! It is my great honor and privilege to stand before you tonight as the President of the Advertising Club Madras.

Our new tagline for MADDYS is “Celebrating the Ideas of India,” and tonight, we do just that. We are here to honor the creativity, innovation, and hard work that drives our industry forward.

Over the last few months, the Advertising Club Madras has been buzzing with activity. We organized a series of impactful events like #ADTALKS, INSIGHTVIEW SERIES, and workshops & relaunched our PGDA program. These initiatives have brought together industry leaders, provided platforms for knowledge sharing, and inspired the next generation of advertising professionals.

This year’s MADDYS process has been nothing short of extraordinary. We received entries from over 10 states, with more than 116 agencies submitting a record-breaking 1015 entries. This is a significant increase from our previous best of 791 entries in 2019. These entries came from all corners of the country, showcasing the rich diversity and talent within our industry. From now on wards, we are proud to say Dinamalar MADDYS is a national advertising award not South India or Tamil advertising award

I want to extend my deepest appreciation to our 27 distinguished judges. They have meticulously evaluated each entry, dedicating countless hours to ensure a fair and thorough judging process. Their expertise and commitment have been invaluable, and without their efforts, reaching this milestone would not have been possible.

I also want to acknowledge the incredible work of our executive committee members. Your tireless efforts behind the scenes have been crucial in organizing this event and making it a grand success. Thank you for your dedication and passion for elevating the standards of our club and the industry.
