The FM AdFocus Awards has announced the jury lineup for 2022. As is tradition with the awards, a number of new jurors join second-term jury members as they determine this year’s winners.
The new jury members are:
Zanele Zwane, MD, Duke
Firdous Osman, MD, Saatchi & Saatchi
Nimay Parekh, chief digital officer, King James
Merissa Himraj, CEO, Wavemaker
Wandile Collins, founder and chief strategic officer, Black Swan
Sharon Keith, marketing director, Heineken
Ana Carrapichano, founder and owner, Mediology (served on the AdFocus media jury in 2021)
“This year’s jury is made up of an exceptional group of industry leaders from across a variety of companies,” says 2022 jury chair Faheem Chaudry. “On the jury we have agency chief executives across through-the-line, media and public relations agencies, as well as industry consultants and clients, all of whom have a wealth of experience both locally and internationally. This jury brings true diversity of thought to the judging room and I’m looking forward to the robust debates that will … decide the agencies most worthy of being named agency of the year.”
This year’s AdFocus judging process will be slightly different. In previous years, a separate media jury adjudicated the media agency entries. This year the media categories will be adjudicated by the main jury.
Chaudry explains: “Media agencies form a critical part of our industry’s landscape. We wanted to bring the debate and discussion around the media industry into the main jury for two main reasons. The first is so that the media industry is represented on the main jury and benefits from all the core discussions that will take place across all categories. Second, to ensure that the media award is judged by a cross-functional set of jurors who interact with media agencies and experience media agencies from different angles.”
The call for entries opened in July and close at midnight on August 31 2022. To enter the FM AdFocus Awards 2022, register on the AdFocus website.
