"The Loeries celebrates creative excellence, and our mission is to grow the innovative use of creativity in the region. TikTok's sponsorship of the Digital category not only perfectly aligns with our mission, but this partnership will ensure that we can provide the industry with valuable insights into where digital creativity is headed and how they can utilise this knowledge to create impactful work," Loeries CEO, Preetesh Sewraj.
TikTok is one of the most popular platforms for short-form mobile video, with over a billion viewers worldwide, and will collaborate with the Loeries for the first time in 2021. This is its third consecutive year of partnering with Loeries.
