Internationally acclaimed creative think-tank, X Media Lab, has over the last seven years established itself as a digital media industry icon. In recognition of his contribution to China’s industry, the company’s founder, Brendan Harkin, has been awarded the International Contribution Award at the Fifth China Creative Industry Awards.

When Brendan Harkin established X Media Lab at the Sydney Opera House, his objective was clear: to create an international, industry-led forum that brings together the world’s outstanding creatives, executives and power-brokers to work as mentors with local companies on their own creative project ideas.

His commitment to this goal has now been acknowledged in China at the Fifth China Creative Industry Awards.

It has just been announced that Harkin is the recipient of the prestigious International Contribution Award, organized by the China Copyright Centre, the International Culture and Creative Industry Expo (ICCIE) and China Guanghua Foundation.
