The Clio Awards has chosen its 2026 Jury Chairs for its eighteen categories. Josy Paul, chairperson and chief creative officer, BBDO India, has been appointed as jury chair for the Public Relations category. The appointment recognises Paul’s long-standing contribution to the industry and his pioneering approach to purpose-driven creativity.
Josy Paul commented, “Public relations has evolved into a powerful force that shapes culture and behaviour. It’s about sparking meaningful conversations and driving genuine action. As Jury Chair, I look forward to celebrating work that not only captures attention but earns belief – work that moves people, and markets.”
