    Big Bang Awards II is devoted to media and wellness and will be held on November 15. Both the events will be held in Bengaluru.

     

    Said Malavika Harita, Chairperson of The Big Bang Awards Committee: “This year we re-examined all the award categories to give the communication for specialised verticals like automotive, realty, consumer goods, social impact, their due. Digital communication is a part of every category. We have also rationalised the number of categories based on market trends. We have expert judges from all over the country and abroad and are very proud of the fact that for the last seven years our entire process from entry submission to judging is online ensuring a fair, impartial process.”

     

    Speaking about the awards, Arvind Kumar, Executive Director, Ad Club Bangalore, said: “The decision to split the awards in to two events was prompted by the fact that Creative & Media have emerged as the two pillars of our industry and healthcare is a fast growing segment. We believe that two separate events will give the two core aspects of our business, the right focus”.
