We just got news that Rediffusion – Y&R‘s Karl Gomes is part of the prestigious Cyber Lotus Jury at ADFEST 2009. Karl Gomes rose to fame with his exceptional work with Tribal DDB. Though the Indian contingent would rave about the same, Karl is known to have been part of the jury at the Cyber Lions category at Cannes.

His controversial exit from Arc Worldwide made headlines in the digital world. It seems like at Reddifusion – Y& R Karl would be executing work from the offline team insated of innovating in the online space. But it is a matter of time till Karl would change the perception of Reddifusion towards interactive advertising.

AdFest 2009 is going to be held from March 19th – 21st 2009 at Pattaya.
