Kaleeta McDade, Jury President commented, “The Metaverse is this beautiful place that is immersive where were can look at brand stories in a different way, and Evolution is where we feel the industry is going, so it’s agnostic of any category as much as it is inspired by where we are as an agency and as [an industry], and where do we feel we are going.”
