Grant McCann duo Achala Ramanayeka and Kumarini Rajakaruna won Silver at the recently concluded Young Spikes Media competition in Singapore.

Spikes Asia is an annual event that brings together the finest creative thinkers in the advertising industry from around the world into one platform to showcase their talents. Achala and Kumarini were selected to represent Sri Lanka after winning a competition held amongst the local advertising industry.

“We got a very challenging brief centred on ‘Feminism’. However we didn’t let this become an obstacle and focused fully on cracking a winning idea. At first we struggled until that figurative light bulb lit in our minds with a refreshing idea; from then on we crafted the presentation all guns blazing,” said Achala Ramanayeka and Kumarini Rajakaruna.

Team Singapore won Gold while two individuals from Australia took Bronze. “It was a real privilege to compete alongside industry experts and do our company and country proud,” said the happy duo.
