“I’m thrilled that these respected Asia Pacific leaders will share their expertise on AME’s 2021 jury panel, they represent the diverse range of talent present within the industry,” stated Gayle Seminara Mandel, executive director, AME Awards. “Their stellar reputations and high standard of excellence set the benchmark for innovation.
“Asia Pacific’s breakthrough creative work represented 27+% of the entries within AME’s 2020 competition and APAC agencies achieved top spots on the AME Report for their innovative results-driven creative. It’s critical that a jury with a reputation as global award-winning leaders themselves thoughtfully review all entries and set the bar for effective excellence.”
AME’s Grand Jury is recruited from five global regions (Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East & Africa, North America, and Latin America). These industry experts carefully review all entries through three rounds of judging.
The results of the 2021 Grand Jury sessions will be included in the annual AME Report, an industry report that provides rankings for agencies and brands. View the 2020 AME Report here.
