Colenso BBDO CCO Levi Slavin has been appointed president of the Film Lotus and Radio Lotus at Adfest 2018 in Thailand (runs Monday to Friday, March 21-24).

Last year, Perth-born Slavin left New York to return to Colenso in Auckland: “What cut the adventure short for us was the election of Trump,” he told the Afest site.

Having left New Zealand in 2014 to take a global creative director role at Anomaly in New York, later joining BBDO New York as VP, group creative director, he’s now about eight months into his third stint at Colenso – which he calls “the best agency on earth, in the best place on earth”.

“I genuinely love New York. What’s not to like? It’s intense, beautiful, and unstoppable. And I was fortunate enough to work on some of the best work of my career. What cut the adventure short for us was the election of Trump.

“It’s an honour to be invited to Adfest – a legendary show in the region and around the world.”
