    Luckin, Executive Director of Quirk South Africa, will be serving on the Film, Print, Outdoor & Radio Jury and Print Craft Jury. She has been in advertising for nearly two decades. She also sits on the Executive Committee of South Africa's Creative Circle and has judged international and local creative awards shows. In 2012, she was appointed to the Ogilvy Worldwide Creative Council. With awards such as the Loerie Grand Prix, Cannes Film Gold, One Show Gold Pencil for Film and Gold Loeries under her belt as well as experience with a range of blue-chip clients, it is no wonder that Luckin was named one of the top ten most influential people in South African advertising in The Annual 2009.
