THE GLOBAL ADVERTISING AWARDS is an annual awards competition honoring creative excellence in advertising worldwide that possesses a different philosophy of evaluation than any other advertising award. The Global Advertising Awards had planned to debut their first awards in Phuket Thailand through the generous sponsorshipof Boon Rawd Breweries, brewers of Singha Beer. And the backing of the advertising club of Bangkok.Because of my misjudgement and placing trust in certain wrong individuals. This never came to pass.We tried to save and present the awards in 2011 in Montreal, but we ran out of time. We are now stepping backand rebranding ourselves.And to all you we lost contact with, the please accept our sincerest aplogies. The reason for this is all our files were stolen, our passwords to our mailboxes, even our Skype account disappeared. Some company even tried to steal our name and domain. We are past all of that now and I hope The Global Advertising Awards will be able to be in touch with all, very soon.GAA has new and exciitng ideas and we are looking forward to inform you of them shortly.For more information contact donna@theglobaladvertisingawards.comOur website will be open to receive entries shortly, please keep checking back atwww.theglobaladvertisingawards. comPhone Number: 01-347-632-1300

In 1973, Patrick Ferrara joined the Clio Awards. settling into their New York office. At that time, the Effie Awards, focused on Marketing and Communications, were part of the Clio structure and Patrick was responsible them as well.l Pat recommended that Clio concentrate its efforts on a creative advertising award. Clio and the Effies went their separate ways. Patrick focused all his energies. Pat recognized what was happening in the world of advertising and realized that the awards competition could no longer remain localized. Moving into the position of Executive Vice President/ International Director, Patrick spent the next 8 years travelling the world, promoting the Clios and setting up a network of representatives spanning 6 continents. In the United States, Clio, thought of as an East Coast Award and was not garnering interest from the outstanding creative communities on the West Coast. In 1978, Patrick opens Clio LA, transforming the Clio from an east coast award to a highly coveted National Prize. This sparked tremendous interest in the Advertising and Production Communities of the Western US and CDN. The enthusiasm of the West Coast Advertising and Production communities was so strong that in 1980 Patrick Ferrara held the Clio Awards Festival in Los Angeles simultaneously with the New York Ceremonies CLIO received tremendous respect, Pat moved the Black Tie Gala in New York City, from a hotel ballroom to the New York State Theatre at Lincoln Center, a venue more suitable for the advertising industry’s most coveted award. During his time with Clio, Patrick increased the number of entries from approximately 4,000 to over 35, 000 with submissions from 54 countries.Patrick Ferrara left Clio after 1981 to work in television and cinema production, representing and producing for many of the top TV commercial directors in the world.
