Gerety 2021 is open for entries with a jury that includes more than 180 advertising and marketing leaders from 30 different countries.
“The 2021 Gerety Awards winners will once again define the standard to which advertising should be held and show clients the best way to target the world’s most powerful consumers.” It IS a big claim, but there is a lot of truth to it. Women still make the vast majority of purchase decisions.
This year’s executive jury sessions will be held in London, Toronto, Berlin, Santiago, Lagos, Singapore, Milan, Paris, Los Angeles and Budapest. These juries will curate entries for the shortlists and choose agency and production company of the year from their country.
Gerety co-founder, Lucía Ongay, stated, “In this third year, we welcome new juries from new cities for our jury sessions, for a truly global perspective from the female vision of the best in creative advertising and communications from around the world.”
The 2021 Grand Jury member representing Australia is Elle Bullen, creative partner and co-founder of SDWM Melbourne. The Grand Jury also includes professionals such as Karen Blackett OBE, WPP UK country manager & GroupM UK chief executive officer; Kate Stanners, chairwoman and global chief creative officer Saatchi & Saatchi London; Jessica Apellaniz, chief creative officer of Mexico & Latam, Ogilvy Mexico; and Tara Weeransinghe, group head-creative, Leo Burnett Sri Lanka.
