The organization and other jury members have made me feel very welcome and from the start you are part of the group. It is so inspiring to discuss with like-minded peers from the industry about the top creative work from our business. Discussing different perspectives, really taking the time to deep dive in the work, as you would normally not always have the time for. With the industry ever changing and being more disruptive then ever, I think it’s so important to have a good diversity of judges in the group, I was honored to be one of them.”
