London International Awards Announces the
2024 Non-Traditional and
TV & Cinema and Online Film Juries

Nadja Lossgott, Chief Creative Officer, AMV BBDO London Named Non-Traditional Jury President

Marco Venturelli, CCO, Publicis France and CEO/CCO, Publicis Conseil France Named TV & Cinema and Online Film Jury President
 
(16 July 2024) London International Awards (LIA), announces Nadja Lossgott, Chief Creative Officer, AMV BBDO, London as Jury President for the Non-Traditional competition. Marco Venturelli, Chief Creative Officer, Publicis France and CEO/CCO, Publicis Conseil, Paris will chair the TV & Cinema and Online Film Jury.
 
In its 39th year, LIA continues to gather the world’s most celebrated creative minds, whose high standards will set the bar for ensuring that only the very best creative ideas and executions are awarded. Nadja and Marco will lead these two power-house juries through all rounds of judging onsite at Encore @ Wynn, Las Vegas. LIA’s transparent judging ensures that all jurors see every piece of work in their respective categories, having spirited discussions and debates through the very end of statue discussions. These panels decide on the Gold, Silver and Bronze Statue Winners, as well as, the Finalists. Each panel, at their discretion, also decides on whether a Grand LIA will be awarded. As there is no off-site pre-judging, all judges are fully involved from the beginning to the end, so everyone is privy to the final results before they are published.
 
Nadja Lossgott, Chief Creative Officer, AMV BBDO, London, as a first time Jury President for LIA, says in accepting this position for the Non-Traditional competition, “I’m thrilled to be judging the work that doesn’t fit a specific mould and sits outside of the boundaries of the known. These are the ideas and executions that plot a new path for our industry.”
 
‘Engagement’ is crucial to the success of a product or service. Brands want to engage with their consumers in a real and meaningful way. Non-Traditional advertising is an unconventional and inventive way to get attention and involvement from consumers.
 
Marco Venturelli, Chief Creative Officer, Publicis France and CEO/CCO Publicis Conseil, Paris, Jury President of the TV & Cinema and Online Film Jury, stated, “What I love about LIA is the quality of the juries and the level of discussions. To be able to review together all submissions live is priceless. LIA is a benchmark in our industry. We're not only looking for the best work, but for the few pieces that truly move us forward. The few pieces that reinvent how we do our jobs, from conception to execution.”
 
Since the first 10-second TV commercial in black and white for Bulova watch, ran in 1941, television commercials have come a long way. Consumers can be reached via online, streaming or cable. Television commercials still have massive impact as they combine motion, sound and sight to tell compelling stories that have the power to connect, evoke emotions and leave a lasting impression.
 

Barbara Levy, President of LIA, said, “Today’s consumers are very savvy, as they are exposed to so much information. There is no doubt that brands get results from both Non-Traditional and traditional media such as television, cinema and online film. Bottom line is: creativity is a key component, no matter how brands choose to advertise. We have the best people in both those jury rooms, so we are watching out for the most creative work to emerge from those two competitions.”

Notes to the Editor:
London International Awards (LIA) is a Creative Awards Festival, established in 1986, by Barbara Levy, President. Barbara was the first woman to found and operate an International Awards Show honoring multiple media types. 39 years later, LIA continues to hold the unique distinction of being the only international award owned by a woman and having a full-time staff of only women.


LIA stands as a champion of the creative process, creatives themselves, and of course, great creative ideas and executions. We are proud to award the best creative work each year in all forms of media: Advertising, Design, Package Design, Data, Technology, Craft, Health, Pharma, Music, PR, Innovation, Strategy, B2B and much more.


That’s why every year, LIA invites industry leaders and trendsetters on both the creative and client side, assembling the most celebrated people for 10 days of judging in Las Vegas. To cut through the thousands of entries to get to the metal, you need the best jurors from diverse communities – not just meeting DEI standards but having true representation from across the regions, companies, networks, holding companies, independent companies to clients.

 

All members on our diverse global jury panels, including the Jury Presidents, judge all entries in their respective competitions with the exception to work that they personally collaborated on or was entered from their company. The LIA judging process requires that jurors are onsite for all judging from the first round through statue discussions. There is no pre-judging to narrow the entries.


LIA created the exclusive and sought after Creative LIAisons educational initiative, funded by LIA, in 2012, as a way of giving back to the industry that supports us. Our mission is to develop, educate, inspire and nurture emerging talent. That in a nutshell is the driving purpose behind the Creative LIAisons initiative. What began as a vision in 2012, became a zeal which crystallized into the Creative LIAisons Global Coaching Academy. This game-changing training academy is a powerful springboard for the current and next generation of talent. Consisting of both onsite and virtual programs, approximately 300 Creative LIAisons Mentees participate annually.
