As the days before the final entry deadline begin to slip away, the shortlist jury for the 2021 Strategy Awards has been revealed.
Joining the previously announced jury are 16 strategy, marketing and innovation experts that have worked for some of Canada’s top brands and agencies. They will be reviewing entries in order to curate a shortlist.
Due to the awards not being held last year, eligibility for the 2021 Strategy Awards has been expanded to include any campaigns that would have been eligible for the 2020 program. More information, such as category info (including the new B2B Strategy and Branding Within Boundaries categories), eligibility and how to enter can be found on the Strategy Awards website.
The final deadline for entries is June 14.
