SPAIN: Bernhard Glock, former global head of media for Procter & Gamble and President of the World Federation of Advertisers has been confirmed as the chairman of the jury for the 2010 Festival of Media Awards.
As the once clearly defined roles of creative and media agency become less defined and as new partners, such as specialist PR companies, technical agencies, production companies or the media owners themselves increasingly become the creators of communication ideas, the Festival of Media Awards Jury aims to reflect these wider viewpoints.
The judging panel will also involve global advertisers, including Maarten Albarda, VP Global Connections for Anheuser-Busch InBev, Nigel Conway, global media director of Nestle and Andrea Newman, group head of advertising for HSBC.
Glock, now heading up his own consultancy, will chair a two stage judging process, involving over 30 jurors. First stage judging will be an online process, involving a wider jury from around the globe who will score all entries and so deliver the shortlist. A final stage jury will then meet to review the shortlist and select the award winners.
Glock said of his role, “I am delighted to have the opportunity to be involved in the judging process for the Festival of Media Awards, which have quickly established themselves as providing a globally recognised standard of recognition for the best media thinking and communication strategy from around the world.”
