Jury President Susan Credle Speaks on the
Grand LIAs in Non-Traditional

Elated by the boundary-pushing work that rose to the top, Jury President Susan Credle expressed, "I'm very proud of what we have curated. The most important thing about curating a show is: will it inspire people when they get a brief? Or will they think in different ways about a problem? Or will I think of new ways to apply creativity?" she went on to say, "When you are looking at great work, it makes being in the jury a wonderful experience. We had a lot of Golds. I think we were all surprised that the one that won, won. It was a crazy, outlier idea. This industry needs to be reminded that we can do really good things and messaging that is fun. We didn't have a lot of Public Service in our group. But there was a piece called "Solar Impulse". It was about a book of laws that were written by lawyers, so that all the government had to do was pull a piece paper out and pass a law.  It was just a brilliant idea. What the jury felt was this was actionable. It took the pain point away and went straight to not an awareness but an action."
 
 

Jury President Joel Simon Discusses the Music & Sound Work

Joel Simon, CEO and Chief Creative Officer of JSM Music, discussed the Music & Sound winners. “We didn't have a Grand LIA this year because we only have two Golds. There wasn't anything that blew us all away where we go: that was unbelievable!” expressed Joel Simon. He went on to say, "We had really good, well crafted, well thought-out work. But we didn't have one that blew us all away."
 
 

Words from LIA President Barbara Levy 

Barbara Levy, President of LIA, added, "When you have a passionate, strong and talented jury, you can be rest assured that nothing slipped through the cracks. The work that won was a departure from the expected. The Grand LIAs were pieces of work that broke the mold yet resonated with the audience."

On the Music & Sound judging, Barbara Levy commented, "We only have a couple of Golds in Music this year. Was the jury tough? Yes, they are all consummate professionals in their disciplines so anything that doesn't meet the mark won't make it into the metal table. Anything that wins is truly well deserving."
