ADFEST is ramping up
the number of workshops on offer during this year’s festival, which runs from
Wednesday 20th March to Saturday 23rd March 2019 in Pattaya, Thailand.
With a new Breakout
Stage and an area for more interactive Open Space
Workshops, delegates will be able to choose from workshops and seminars running
in parallel to sessions in the main conference hall at PEACH (Pattaya
Exhibition and Conference Hall).
We are delighted to confirm the following
workshops and sessions:

Think
Like A Murder Mystery Writer, presented by Ankur Kalita, Vice President/Senior Creative Director at J. Walter Thompson in
Delhi, India
Creative@ADFEST:
Friday 22nd March, 14.30–16.00- Room Pattaya 6
We all sit on the edge of our seat while
watching murder mysteries. Do they contain a secret formula that could benefit
our industry? Yes, according to copywriter Ankur Kalita, who points out that
murder mystery writers begin with the murder, and go backwards from there. “And
that's a great lesson for us ad folks. We need to start at the end too, to
begin making more of a difference in the lives of the brands we work on,” he
says. In this workshop, you’ll learn how to write stories that are as
compelling as murder mystery bestsellers.
