Blueliner is very excited to join our partner, Global Advertising Strategies, for the AdVision Awards, this Thursday, March 4.

The 2010 AdVision Awards ceremony is monumental for several reasons. It is the final culmination of the Fourth Annual international competition of Russian-language advertising, which GAS founded in 2006. The AdVision Awards has established itself as an illustrious forum, honoring the best advertising works worldwide.

This year, the setting is the legendary B.B. King Blues Club in New York City. This venue embodies universal culture and the name B.B. King has great meaning to the Russian people, as many grew up listening to Blues and Jazz. This event helps Global to achieve the company’s mission of bridging capital and cultural differences between the two regions.

Additionally, as part of the AdVision events,  Blueliner CEO Arman Rousta will be participating in a panel discussion on Friday, March 5 at 3:00 pm titled, Going Viral, Going Global: Harnessing Social Media. The panel will be moderated by Craig Kanalley, Traffic & Trends Editor for the Huffington Post.

Arman Rousta says, “I’m honored to be speaking at AdVision this year.  Global puts on a first-class event with topics, like the Social Media panel, that are timely and relevant for advertising agencies. I hope to bring some insights on how agencies need to take the lead in devising Social Media strategies for their clients.”
