Damian Royce, a creative director at Clemenger BBDO, Melbourne, who flew up with Nick Kelly (Copywriter) and Calvin Teoh (Interactive Designer), winners of the Young Lions Cyber category, told CB: “We’re all really excited and proud that Nick and Calvin will get to represent Australia in the Young Lions Cyber category. The experience they’ll have competing against other hungry young creatives from around the world will be invaluable. We wish them all the best.”
