He added that Campaign Asia-Pacific is well-poised to offer to the world unbiased, expert opinions on the markets covered in the contestants’ challenges and on the way the challenges will unfold.

Comments Simon Lockyer, managing director Ice-TV Singapore, “Ice-TV is delighted to join forces with Campaign magazine to bring this platform to market. With alliances already in place with Omnicom Media Group and AXN we are confident it will be a great success.”
