The 2025 AToMiC Awards jurors revealed

Ready to meet the 2025 AToMiC Awards jurors?

Strategy has unveiled the 12 experts selected to judge the ideas that pushed boundaries, spanning advertising, tech, media creativity and content. The competition has already begun accepting entries, with the early bird deadline ending on Sept. 19 and the regular deadline falling on Oct. 11.

This year’s awards includes a new category, Connected Commerce. This category awards the best use of an integrated approach to retail and consumer transactions that combines digital and physical shopping experiences.

The below jurors – and their co-chairs Lisa Reid and Jeffrey Da Silva – will begin their deliberations later this year, with the winners announced at a gala and on strategyonline.ca in late March 2025.
