Not long to go now until the APAC Cairns Crocodiles Festival of Creativity, proudly presented by Pinterest! One of my personal highlights? Without a doubt, it’s the Cairns Croc Awards on the Thursday night. This year, we’re thrilled to have the incredible Maz Farrelly as our MC—get ready, because she’s going to blow the roof off the Cairns Convention Centre!
Entries were up compared to last year, which is a massive achievement given the challenging conditions. We’re genuinely proud to see so many agencies from across the APAC region stepping up with exceptional work. What’s especially exciting is the diversity of entrants—everyone from major Holdcos to powerhouse independents, with standout submissions from across Asia, particularly Thailand.
