Agency of the Year judges revealed

As in previous years, this year creative agencies submitted five pieces of work for AOY and media agencies submitted three cases for MAOY. Over the past two weeks, two separate jury panels scored the work online and in isolation, giving marks for the submitted campaigns’ level of strategic insight and creativity.

Below are the marketer and agency executives that form this year’s 2015 jury panels (watch this space next week when we announce the Digital and PR jury panels once judging comes to a close, and the following week for an announcement on the shortlisted agencies across all four categories).

As in past years, jurors were prevented from judging agencies for whom they had conflicts.
