Blog Anubis is a proud supporter of the Dubai Lynx advertising creativity festival. The Dubai Lynx (in my opinion) is currently the most credible festival awarding creativity in the Middle East as evident by the actions taken two years ago when they withdrew the title of Agency of the Year and several trophies from an agency which did not adhere to the competition rules and regulations. They also updated their rules and regulations (see Great move Dubai Lynx ).
Many media vehicles including Arab Times, Seyassah and RLP have confirmed their support for the Dubai Lynx from Kuwait with many more confirming on a daily basis.
For more details of the Dubai Lynx, for entering work and for deltgate registration please visit their website www.dubailynx.com
IAA Kuwait Chapter is appointed as the official representative of both the Dubai Lynx and the Cannes Lions in Kuwait, so expect some interesting events to follow this announcements.
They stole 14 different creations, used them as their own without crediting the originals or even mentioning them and profited from doing so.
The work was done for profit to promote the launching of the TV station owned by the owner of multiple advertising agencies and TV production companies; he goes by the name Tarek Nour who openly admitted to copying 14 promos (so far) and is considered a creative legend in Egypt.
This only goes to show the true status of creativity in the Middle East. copy past. copy anything from anywhere and past it anywhere but most importantly never forget to enter such work in creativity awards as bragging rights are as important as getting a raise, or getting new clients and undeserved respect from people whom you take for granted and deem ignorant!!!
I hope we do not see this work on next year short-list at the Dubai Lynx. The following are some examples of the original content which Egyptian Advertising industry Top Dog Tarek Nour copied the ideas from and used them as promos to launch his TV station during the month of Ramadan!!! This guy will stop at nothing.
The videos have been removed by Tarek Nour from Youtube trying to cover up his crime, however tow of them are still available on Smells like a dirty copycat / Ça sent bon la mauvaise cope and Thinking about copycat? / Touché coulé!

Oh lord. Really? Fine. Yes, it’s a yet-another-copy-cat-ad-has-been-unearthed-from-this-year’s-Dubai-Lynx-awards kind of situation. And doesn’t Mr Irony just smile on this one? Here we present “Stolen” by Impact BBDO, which made the shortlist at the 2009 Dubai Lynx awards, for Dunlop:
And it looks very much like someone may have “stolen” the idea from this ad called “Stolen Tyres” for… Dunlop, this time from Lindsay Smithers-FCB in South Africa, waaay back in 1999.
Coincidence? Copy-cat? Outright theft? You decide. We’re sick of it. Source: http://adnationme.com/news/industry-gossip/stolen-from-stolen-more-lynx-copycat-in-the-scandal-that-wouldn.html#josc129 |
