Yes, a great jury indeed.
Makes adfest look a bit second cousin.
Honestly now, it’s more or less the same people who judge every show.
Yes there are some talented people on the panel, but when you have mostly the same people judge so many of the shows, there isn’t much purpose in entering them all, is there?
“Gee, I’ll fork out some more money to have ‘so and so’ judge my work for yet another time this year!”
My agency was waiting to see who the panel would be before committing to entering this show. The lack of originality has made our decision easy.
good line up & thankfully tuttsel isn’t in there for once. it will be a great show with real work if john merrifield is there, as he is anti scam. thats why we never see his offices scam, cough cough.
So who would you have invited 9.47?
The internationals are superb and Leo Burnett would be the only big one not represented.
