As well as defining the shortlist, the executive jury sessions each select the agency and production company of the year from their country.
NEW FOR 2025: The Effectiveness Cut will look at work that has achieved measurable impact in meeting business objectives and fulfilling a brand's purpose effectively.
Looking towards the judging, Grand Jury member Suzanne Powers, Founder and CEO, Powers Creativity said “I’m particularly looking forward to finding work that surprises us not just with the broad perspective we bring from across the industry, but even more so the perspective we bring from humanity. Creativity has the power to move people through joy and laughter, intelligence and ingenuity, charm, warmth and empathy, all while solving problems big and small. We’ll be looking for and celebrating all of that.”
Hope Nardini, Global Executive Creative Director at Grey continued by saying “I’m looking forward to seeing work that’s fresh, challenges convention and has been crafted to perfection. Regardless of market, category, or medium, the work that wins will make us feel inspired and even a little jealous”
