As well as defining the shortlist, each of the executive jury sessions selects the agency and production company of the year from their country. This is chosen from the entrants of the Portfolio Cut.

Entrants will be able to submit entries for Strategy as well as Emerging Commerce into any of the Gerety cuts for Communication, Media, Innovation, B2B, Health, Pharma, Works for Good, Entertainment, Experience and Humour.
Entries celebrating strategy will show creative examples of the customer journey and strategic planning that redefined a brand or product.
Emerging commerce will show new channels that organically use the Metaverse, NFTs, Blockchain, AI, AR and other advanced technologies and tools to seamlessly support the development of a brand, product or service.
AUNZ ambassador, Kim Pick, commented, “It’s an honour to be selected as the AUNZ regional ambassador for the Gerety Awards this year. In its fifth year now, and continuing to grow in scale and scope, it has a unique perspective: a jury that selects the best in global advertising that resonates with a female audience. I look forward to joining with the jury from across Australia and New Zealand to deliberate, curate and celebrate the outstanding work that’s happening in this market.”
