- Chicago – Robin Shapiro, President & Chief Creative Officer, CAHG New York, Chicago and San Francisco
The Global Awards Grand Jury of prominent international healthcare and wellness executives will assemble this September to judge creative work submitted to the 2015 competition. Judging sessions will also take place online, allowing entries to be viewed comprehensively by an international jury from regions with both established and growing healthcare markets. The annual live sessions allow jurors to examine in detail multi-paged works including: sales kits, direct mail, brochures, point of purchase displays, and annual reports and select entries that will achieve Shortlist status.
Hugh Fitzhardinge commented on the upcoming judging sessions at Sydney-based Ward6, “At Ward6 we’re delighted to host the 2015 Global Awards live session in what’s now a long-standing tradition ‘down under’. I like to think Australia punches above its weight in healthcare advertising and it’ll be great to have creatives from both global networks and local independents in attendance. In a rapidly changing environment, I’ll be hoping to discover some of those elusive game changing ‘new’ ideas that we all wish we’d come up with.”
Shaheed Peera, host of the London based Grand Jury judging session slated for September 23rd at Publicis LifeBrands Resolute said, “It was an honour to be asked to host this year’s UK judging session. The Globals have a wonderful history of celebrating great creative. And I’m really excited to see what will rise to the top this year.”
“CAHG is thrilled to host the Midwest judging of the Global Awards, said Robin Shapiro. “ We have assembled a stellar jury representing some of the best healthcare agencies. Working with these bright creative leaders to discuss, debate, and ultimately help determine the year’s best healthcare communication — I can’t imagine a better day!”
