The Gerety Awards judging is about to begin and the shortlist will be announced September 21 followed by live streaming of jury debates from around the world.
The Gerety Awards is unique in that its jury has been brought together to select the best in advertising – all advertising, not just advertising made for women – through the female lens. Studies show that women make up to 80% of all purchasing decisions globally, so it creates a benchmark that is relevant to market reality and presents an interesting alternative to the traditional awards in which men still often have a dominant voice.
The Gerety Awards were named for Frances Gerety, the copywriter who in 1948 coined the slogan, A diamond is forever.
