Announcing The 2019 Tangrams Strategy & Effectiveness Awards Jury
Tangrams Strategy and Effectiveness Awards @ Spikes has announced the full jury line-up across five award types.
The award categories are; Effectiveness, Media Strategy, Digital Strategy, Data & Analytics and e-Commerce.
The stellar line-up of 79 judges from agencies and brands representing over 20 different industry types will review this year’s entries and award the most effective campaigns at Asia-Pacific’s largest strategy and effectiveness awards.
Spikes Asia festival director, Joe Pullos commented: “We have hand-picked this year’s jury who we believe to be the highest calibre from across the region who will ensure our rigorous 3-stage judging process recognises only the very best campaigns from Asia-Pacific.
“This is simply a great opportunity for entrants to have their work judged and recognised by the top marketers and strategists in Asia.”
The recent alignment of the Tangrams Strategy & Effectiveness and Spikes Asia awards entry and judging timeline also makes it easier for entrants to work on submissions for a single piece of work once, rather than multiple times throughout the year.
A campaign can be judged and awarded simultaneously for both strategy and effectiveness as well as creative excellence at the Spikes Asia Festival of Creativity in September 2019.
The Tangrams Strategy & Effectiveness @ Spikes Awards 2019 winners will be announced and awarded on 26 September at a dedicated award show to celebrate the best campaigns by strategists and planners in Asia-Pacific.
Early Bird delegate passes to the Spikes Asia Festival of Creativity which includes entry to the Tangrams Awards are on sale now.
