Colenso BBDO CCO, Levi Slavin, to judge the Digiday Media Awards

Colenso BBDO chief creative officer, Levi Slavin, has been invited to join the Digiday Media Awards Europe panel.

Also joining the panel, is Sarah Williams, head of brand, communications and experience at Colenso agency, Spark.

Digiday is a new awards program that applauds companies working to modernise European media. Its categories single out the roles of Instagram, Facebook and Snapchat, branded content video and live video, and interactive content and native advertising platforms, for example.

Slavin rejoined Colenso in April 2017, beginning his third stint at the agency, this time as CCO. Last month, Colenso was named #6 most creative agency in the world in the Big Won Report. Slavin had left Colenso for the second time in February 2014 to join Anomaly in New York as global creative director and became executive vice president and group creative director at BBDO New York one year later.

He has won more than 100 international awards across dozens of campaigns, including one Black and five Yellow Pencils at D&AD. His work has featured at TED, ranked #1 on the iTunes music and podcast charts, and has spanned product innovation, literature, television series, and film.

Slavin commented, “To be judging with some of the most prolific, innovative people in the world is phenomenal. Digiday has been on my radar for a while because the work looks less and less like advertising – there’s some really intriguing categories this year. And I get to reacquaint myself with the best work being produced in Europe.”

Williams added, “It’s fantastic to be invited to judge at such a prestigious show. Having recently switched client side after 20 years with agencies, I’m really excited to see some of the most successful and creative work on the planet from the last year.”
