Dubai Lynx Awards have passed and I have blogged about the exciting bits, before and after the awards. But my blog’s readers want more. The Dubai Lynx website has so much coverage this time, with shortlisted ads up there too open for anyone to lookup, I felt putting up the winners here was unnecessary.

But then, everyone loves pictures - and I do have some nice ones readers of the blog would like, taken by me from right under the stage (the press seats and my agency tables were at a distance so I just sat on the carpet - with all the journalist buddies - in true paparazzi style. Closer to the action.) 

So here goes another post with some great Dubai Lynx memories in pictures…

Creative BTL advertising visualiser cum designer vacancy in Abu Dhabi March 30, 2008

One of the most creative advertising agency networks in the world is looking for a creative visualiser cum designer for its Abu Dhabi office.

You need to be passionate about BTL stuff. Everything from brochures and leaflets to website design and emailers.

The ideal candidate would be young and hungry to prove that BTL has as much award-winning potential as ATL. Of course, if you’ve already proven your mettle, you’ll sail through the shortlisting with your portfolio.

You’d have the ability to take a brief and deliver to it. On time. On quality.

Of course, you’d be fluent with designer things like Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator - the works.

What you’ll get is a warm and progressive agency atmosphere. Young and driven team mates. Focused and motivating creative direction. And a chance to grow as fast as you can take it.

If your mom and dad don’t allow late nights, or if you look down on BTL - this post is not for you.

But if laying out long copy as well pages, if designing brochures and publications, direct mailers and collaterals is your game, this is the opportunity you could be waiting for. In Abu Dhabi - the city that’s buzzing with activity minus the diversions and jams.

Rush your CV/portfolio to farrukh.copywriter(at)gmail.com and let me know why you think BTL rocks!

The position is full time, based in Abu Dhabi and needs to be filled immediately.
