Daniel Kee
Head of Jury
Executive Creative Director
Mullenlowe
Work that displays global polish but doesn’t shy from Singapore’s unique vernacular.
Daniel Kee began his career as a systems consultant and multimedia developer, before he traded code for copy. Today he oversees a portfolio of Unilever brands on a global scale out of Singapore. He’s won over 400 awards including Cannes Lions, London International Awards and the odd Webby. He’s been named among the Most Influential Creative Directors by the Institute of Advertising Singapore consecutive years running. His work has helped MullenLowe be ranked #1 agency in Singapore and cement the agency’s place as a Cannes Lions Top 10 Agency of the Decade Asia.
Daniel’s chaired the CCA Gong Awards and Crowbar Student Awards, and was deputy jury president at AdFest. He’s also been on the awarding jury at Cannes Lions. Back home, he helms the Republic of Singapore Navy account, and is particularly fond of the campaign, “It’s not crazy, it’s the Navy” – entering its fifth year and sailing strong.
Timothy Chan
Creative Chancellor
GOVT
Don't die without any scars
Although he's Malaysian, Tim has worked in Singapore for the past 12 years, bringing some good old Malaysian unruliness with him. In his time running GOVT, he's led the little pirate ship to business wins for both blue-chip and institutional clients. His work has also brought the agency shiny metal things, but seeing the people of GOVT punch above their weight remains the most satisfying part of his job.

I look forward to discovering emerging talents and encouraging the creation of more imaginative works.
Joey began her creative journey in graphic design, but she’s never been one to stay in one lane. Her latest focus is film, where she honed her craft as a storyteller. Her creative spirit doesn’t stop at film; she’s constantly on side quests, exploring art direction, motion graphics, and everything in between.
