London International Awards has announced the jury presidents and jurors for the 2023 Integration and Transformative Business Impact and Creative Use Of Data competitions.
Chaka Sobhani, global chief creative officer of Leo Burnett Worldwide and chief creative officer of Leo Burnett UK and Fallon UK, will lead the Integration and Business Impact jury. Sobhani’s 20 years’ experience as an award-winning director, writer and creative director will guide the jury assessing the multi-channel/multi-platform work submitted in the Integration category.
She stated, “What can I say, I’m incredibly excited to be President of the Integration jury this year at LIA. I particularly love integrated, as the craft of creating a complete experience and journey for audiences has never been more challenging and rewarding. I can’t wait to dive in with my fellow jurors and get inspired by what can and has been created this year.”
Adam Ferrier, chief thinker at Thinkerbell leads the Creative Use of Data jury. He is one of Australia’s leading creative strategists, a consumer psychologist and co-founder of Thinkerbell, the agency that practises ‘measured magic’, bringing together marketing science and hardcore creativity. His belief in ‘hardcore creativity’ will guide him as he leads the jury.
Ferrier stated, “Everyone knows the LIA trophies look the coolest, and are by far the most impressive on the agency shelf. LIA has always been an Awards Show that values the avant-garde and brave, and it’s an honour to be chairing the Transformative Business Impact and Creative Use of Data Jury. This is the category that proves the geeks are the new vanguard of genuine business transformational creativity. When not judging you’ll be able to find us on the gaming floor counting cards.”
“It’s an honour to have Chaka Sobhani and Adam Ferrier as jury presidents. They are two of the most lauded creatives in the world. Selecting them to chair was an easy decision for us. Their credentials are impeccable. With them in their respective judging rooms nothing will be overlooked and only the most innovative and creative work will be awarded statues,” stated Barbara Levy, president of LIA.
