Pitcher Festival has announced the appointment of Steve Babaeko, president of the Association of Advertising Agencies of Nigeria and CEO/CCO X3M Ideas, Lagos, Nigeria and Joel Rao, chief executive officer of Digital & Customer Experience at Dentsu Aegis, Kenya as jury presidents for Pitcher Awards Heritage and Channel categories respectively.

The Pitcher Awards ranks as one of the most valuable and internationally respected accolades for creative work coming out of Africa. Every year our esteemed jury members from across the region come together to review and benchmark creativity expressed across Africa through various media like print, film, audio, outdoor, PR, Entertainment, Digital, as well as creativity that has been specifically deployed for societal good.

The duo will lead the Heritage jury for entries in the Integrated Campaigns, Use of Media, Use of Data, PR and Reputation Management as well as Use of Insights and Strategy categories.

Entries into Pitcher Awards are open to all work created, released or implemented anywhere on the African continent. This means that even projects created outside of Africa but designed specifically for implementation and release in Africa are also eligible to enter.

The closing date for entries is 31 March 2022.
