AD STARS has announced three of the industry’s most renowned creative leaders as executive judges: Merlee Jayme (dentsu mcgarrybowen), Ali Rez (Impact BBDO) and Natalie Lam (Publicis Groupe).
Merlee Jayme is the AD STARS 2021 executive judge for the Brand Experience & Activation, Creative eCommerce, Direct, Media and PR categories. She became global president at dentsu mcgarrybowen in 2020, and was also an AD STARS executive judge back in 2015.
Says Jayme: “I have always admired AD STARS’ ethos as a festival that offers a level playing field for creators by offering entries free-of-charge. We are living in an age where creative solutions have never been more important, yet budgets are being squeezed by a global economic downturn. I hope creative agencies big and small will enter their work into this year’s awards program, and I can’t wait to be inspired by their ideas and ingenuity again this year.”
