“I’m thrilled and honored to be selected as president of the inaugural Creativity in PR Jury for the LIA 2022 awards,” said Della. “LIA’s addition of the category is very timely. We’ve seen the elevation of PR such that earned-led creative is central to delivering powerful ideas that are shaping perceptions, reputations, feelings, cultures, behaviors, and actions like never before. At the same time, the expectations for PR agency creativity have only heightened these last couple of years. I look forward to joining with other jurors to award the best from PR.”
