MediaScope and ArabAd have announced that the 6th edition of the Jordan Advertising Awards (JAA) will take place on October 3, at the Four Seasons Hotel.

First held in the year 2000, The Jordan Advertising Awards 2009 is endorsed by the International Advertising Association (IAA) - Jordan Chapter and is the only award ceremony that celebrates and rewards the creativity and talent of advertising companies across the kingdom.

With the advertising industry witnessing an impressive growth over the past few years, with expenditures in 2008 having reached a record $303 million and the first half of 2009 witnessing a surprising growth compared to the same time last year, this year's Jordan Advertising Awards has generated considerable support, despite the prevailing economic conditions.

'This year's event will see over 25 participating companies and over 550 entries in the competition,” stated Zeid Nasser, managing director of MediaScope and JAA organiser.

The JAA 2009 gala night is expected to bring together over 600 top advertising and media professionals to witness Jordan's advertising agencies and design houses winning awards in over 50 categories, covering all product and service categories.-TradeArabia News Service
