We’re excited to launch our latest APAC REWIND report – straight from the heart of AdFest 2025, and a true celebration of our collective creative force. 

From standout trends to industry-first, REWIND distills four key themes that shaped this year’s festival: 

  1. Transformative Creativity
    Where creativity and technology collide to unlock innovation and impact.
  2. Creativity with Exceptional Insight
    The fusion of AI, data and strategy to fuel growth and deeper connections.
  3. The Cost of Inaction vs. Bold Creativity
    Playing it safe can be riskier than taking bold creative leaps.
  4. Culture & Diversity as Creative Catalysts
    How identity, inclusion and local nuance are shaping the future of storytelling.

Alongside the work, we also got a front-row seat to the action – from hosting this year’s Young Lotus Workshop and behind-the-scenes jury insights, to winning 42 awards including Network Agency of the Year 🏆. 

Whether you’re looking for inspiration, case studies or a quick catch-up on what’s driving the industry forward in APAC – this one’s for you.
