Pendoring judges selected

Jan Teulingkx

Teulingkx, a licensed psychologist, combined his studies with his first job as editor in chief of Trivial Pursuit and a TV writer. He took his first steps in advertising at a "not-so-cool-agency." To run away from it as far as possible, he headed for Argentina where he found proof that "in advertising everything is possible." He talked himself into a job as a copywriter in a language he did not speak - at the South American hot shop Agulla y Baccetti. At the time, the agency was at the top of its game and among the top three in the world.

He worked as a copywriter in the fast and relentless hot shop, Mortierbrigade, before he took on a job as, what he called, 'junior creative director' at Saatchi & Saatchi in Brussels. The agency has since won numerous national and international awards. As executive creative director, Teulingkx and his teams work on major network clients and new business projects, including Toyota, Guinness, Samsonite and T-Mobile.

He strongly believes in innovation, story and relevance, but does not like the words '360' or 'yes, but it was online'. He emphasises that every award should be an example for the industry, creatively as well as morally. "An award winner is a great piece of work, not just a smart way of entering. The best work has to enter and leave the festival through the main gate, not through a back door." Teulingkx says he's intrigued, motivated and a bit nervous to judge the best Afrikaans and South-African work.
