HISTORY

History of ADWAVE

Made-up of four main components, the ADWAVE annual project incorporates an exhibition of past award winning advertisements such as the Kancil Awards and Creative Circle, a workshop conducted by the finest experts from the local advertising industry, organizing a creative competition to discover immense talents and creativity in students and finally, the ADWAVE Awards Day as the finale of the whole ADWAVE campaign.

ADWAVE is nothing short of a success story, originating from a humble beginning. The fact that it is run fully by inexperienced undergraduates makes the journey all more inspiring. Other than that, it serves as an excellent platform for undergraduates in learning the real meaning of teamwork, passion and sacrifice. Each ADWAVIAN wraps up the project learning how triumph and satisfaction feel like. That is ADWAVE a learning curve where every member of the team gives in nothing short of the best.
