Tara Ford, chief creative officer of The Monkeys and Accenture Song, is set to serve on the Titanium jury at this year’s Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity.
The Aussie adland legend said that she “can’t wait” to join the panel of judges and that the Award was particularly close to her heart.
“Titanium is all about pushing boundaries and moving the industry forward so I’m super excited to see the work and discuss it with this superstar jury,” she posted on Linkedin.
Ford is joined on the jury by:
- Debbi Vandeven, global chief creative officer, VML
- Ali Rez, chief creative officer, Impact BBDO

- Natalie Lam, chief creative officer, Publicis Groupe
- Patricia Corsi, global chief marketing officer, Bayer
- Samantha Silva De Almedia, director, diversity and innovation, Estudios Globo

Fellow Australia-based creatives making their way to the south of France include:

Ford is no stranger to gongs, either. The Monkeys picked up two awards at last year’s B&T Awards — the Best PR Campaign for its “England Bitter” work for VB and the NSW Agency.
