The ANDYS has chosen its 2026 PACIFIC Regional Jury, the creative leaders who will assess the boldest, brightest, and most original ideas from Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific Islands.

The ANDYs Regional Competitions, now in their fifth year, give agencies in each region a chance to enter for free, and test their work locally before taking it to the global stage. It’s all about recognising authentic regional voices first… and then turning the volume way up for the world to hear.

If your work makes the shortlist, you’ll only pay to move on to the Global Awards, where your regional chair will champion your idea to the full global jury.

Leading the PACIFIC Jury is Emma Robbins, who was promoted to group chief creative officer at M+C Saatchi ANZ last week. She stated, “With free entry, fewer barriers, transparent judging, and this legendary team of minds assembled, shortlisting is all about recognising great ideas, with no category restrictions, no matter where they come from. We’re ready to roll.”

The full ANDYS Pacific jury is:

• CHAIR: Emma Robbins, Group Chief Creative Officer, M+C Saatchi ANZ
• Hilary Badger, Executive Creative Director, Leo Australia
• Daniel Borghesi, Creative Director, M+C Saatchi Group AUZ
• Chris Cheeseman, Creative Director, +61
• Christie Cooper, Executive Creative Director, Droga5 ANZ
• Sharon Edmondston, Executive Creative Director, The General Store

• Chris McKee, Executive Creative Director, 2045 Agency

With 91% of ANDY-winning ideas going on to win at other major shows, this is your chance to make your work travel further.
