AToMiC jury revealed

Strategy, Media In Canada and Playback have revealed the AToMiC awards jury, a cross-industry panel of key media, digital, production, advertising and marketing execs.

AToMiC spotlights the work and ideas that show the way forward in the mediascape, with a focus on bringing the best advertising, entertainment, tech developments, media innovation – and creativity – into the spotlight. In addition to breakthrough work from brands, AToMiC awards also span the pioneering work TV/game/digital producers and networks are doing in the interactive/transmedia space, innovative campaigns and content. Last year, the Tourette Syndrome Foundation of Canada and Saatchi & Saatchi walked away with the top prize for the duo’s “Surrender Your Say” campaign (pictured).

The winning work will be revealed at the AToMiC awards show in Toronto in May. In addition to online curation, the cases will be featured in the June issue of strategy magazine, which also reaches the Canadian business community via distribution with the Globe and Mail, and the global adworld elite via distribution at the Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity.
