Members of the Gerety Awards Grand Jury shared what stood out on this yr’s successful work:
“In a yr the place everyone seems to be chasing consideration, the work that stood out was work that earned it relatively than demanded it. The KitKat Heist is a very compelling instance of this…what started as a model ‘accident’ was reworked into an concept. The act of stealing KitKats grew to become the communication, the PR, the cultural dialog and, finally, the proof of the concept. For me, that may be a defining high quality of Grand Prix-level work, when an concept is so nicely constructed that it doesn’t really feel like promoting, however one thing you willingly interact with till the very finish. The work doesn’t interrupt tradition; it creates a second inside it” stated Dipshika Ravi, nationwide artistic director, Schbang, India.
“AI can manufacture content material, but it surely can’t manufacture consideration. KitKat did precisely that – they made an issue public and invited folks to take part in fixing it. That takes nerve. And audacity!” commented Maria Milusheva, CCO, OM Group and MUCH BETTER, Bulgaria.
“Nice artistic work doesn’t ask for consideration – it earns it. The winners remind us that creativity has no single accent, market or system. One of the best concepts journey as a result of they shock us, make us really feel one thing and alter the way in which we see”, defined Alejandra Fehrmann, world communications government.
Christen Rochon, advert partnerships director at NBCUniversal, summed up with the next “These works are greater than a celebration of artistic excellence. The best Grand Prix winners mirror affect, are proactive in its evolution, and create a everlasting thread within the cloth of tradition, leaving an impression that extends far past the second.”
