In addition, this year’s benchmarking panel has also been announced. A mix of industry professionals and academics who have all been on previous CASSIES juries, the benchmarking panel is responsible for evaluating entries before they reach the jury to ensure they are eligible and the standard for being recognized with a CASSIE is maintained.
The early bird deadline is Aug. 1, with the final deadline for entries on Aug. 30. More information about entries and categories can be found on the CASSIES website.
Editor’s note: Due to a conflict, previously announced co-chair Judy John is unable to participate on this year’s jury. The agency side of the industry will be represented by jury member Cathy Collier, who will now serve as co-chair.
