An all-female jury. A powerful perspective
One of the world’s most awarded independent agencies, Cossette, has created a powerful call for entries campaign for the Gerety Awards. With more than 20 translations the viral campaign emphasises the power of having a different perspective. The kind of perspective the industry (quite literally) can’t get anywhere else other than the Gerety Awards jury.
This year’s jury includes 190 judges from 40 different countries, open to all advertising agencies, advertisers, studios and production companies worldwide. Both national and international campaigns may compete. The only judging criteria is originality of the idea and creativity in its execution.
Cossette were the Gerety Awards Agency of the year in 2021 and have won the Gerety since its inception with clients like Sick Kids, Nabs, McDonald’s and the World Wheelchair Rugby. They sought out to develop an idea capable of driving entries that are more diversified showcasing the value of an all-woman perspective without reinforcing old stereotypes.
The 2023 Gerety Awards has a new deadline of 14 April. An all-female jury. A powerful perspective.
