Nearly 60 experts in the fields of marketing, advertising, media, design, PR and digital carved out hours and hours of their summer to pore through comprehensive case studies for this year’s Agency of the Year competitions. They’re finally done reading, viewing and deliberating over the hundreds of cases entered this year, with strategy revealing the shortlist results online next week.

Now is the time that we reveal the names and the faces of those individuals who scored the work over the last two weeks. The jury panels for each category of the competition can be found below. And following the shortlist announcement on August 21, agencies in the running will be recognised at the Agency of the Year awards gala on November 1 in Toronto.
