Warren Brown, executive creative director and co-founder of BMF Sydney, has been announced as the Chairman of Judges for the upcoming 2008 MADC Awards.
Brown has been a Titanium and TV juror at Cannes, judged TV, Print and Posters at D&AD, Print for Clio and chaired every major award show in Australia.
His own accolades include Cannes Lions, D&AD Silvers, British Television’s Commercial of the Year and UK Campaign Poster Gold along with awards at One Show, Clio and Kinsale. He’s also collected numerous Gold, Silver and Bronze awards locally. 
Brown reigned supreme during the 90s in Campaign Brief’s Creative Circle and was one of just 28 people from around the world to be included in D&AD’s Art Direction book.
He was also the only creative director in Australia selected for Shots top 50 and has had work featured in several books on advertising including ‘The 100 Best Posters of the Century’ and D&AD’s ‘Best of 40 years’. 
BMF, the agency Brown co-founded in 1996, has collected over 250 creative awards at the major shows around the world.
Says Brown: “Australia’s creative reputation has been further enhanced over the past few years by the great work coming out of Melbourne. As a born and bred Melbournite, it’s an honour to be invited to chair the MADC jury and I’m sure we’ll see more work that’ll do Australia proud."
The 2008 MADC Awards will be held at Peninsula & Atlantic, Pier 14 on Central Pier, Docklands on 13 June 2008. 
This year’s MADC Awards promise to set new heights in the quality and diversity of work on show, with 86 organisations represented across 69 categories. Entries are up by 6 per cent on last year and there has been a  particular increase in Integrated Campaigns.
