4 M.A.P Asia screening panel Why you need M.A.P


Our M.A.P screening panels form part of a ‘who’s who’ of entrepreneurs, investors, advisors and strategists in global media across the world.


M.A.P Asia Judging Panel includes:


If you are a new company in media and advertising, in Asia and you have big ambitions and a powerful proposition that might just disrupt established practices, then M.A.P is for you.


You’ll be pleased to hear that global advertisers want to meet you too. They know that change in media is happening. And they know great companies can emerge from anywhere in the world. No country has a monopoly on innovation. This is why global agency chief executives and leading advertisers asked C Squared, the creator of The Festival of Media, to establish M.A.P.

The Festival of Media attracts premier decision-makers. When the event launched in Venice in 2007, it was the first forum to have every single global agency chief executive on the same stage.

Through partnerships with organisations such as the World Federation of Advertisers, our festivals are packed with major clients for the duration of the three-day event. Over the years, advertisers such as Unilever and Phillips have arranged global group meetings at The Festivals and client attendance amounts to more than 20%. Client speakers have included the global chief marketing officers, global media directors and global comms directors of companies such as Adidas, AT&T, Deutsche Telecom, Coca-Cola, Fedex, HSBC, Intel, Nestlé, PepsiCo, Procter & Gamble, Reckitt Benckiser, Renault, Unilever and Visa.


And, of course, it wouldn’t be The Festival of Media without a major contingent of progressive global media businesses. From News Corp to Yahoo!, Fox to Facebook, and from Tencent to Televisa and Google to Globo, The Festival of Media events attracts media owner support from around the world.

“M.A.P is a major step forward in the creation of a global mechanism to bring great ideas to advertisers. It is a systematic way to provide a ‘liquidity of innovation’ in the media markets. We encourage all progressive young businesses to take part in this scheme” Michael Kassan, chief executive, MediaLink; Charlie Crowe, chief executive, C Squared
