Colin Wilson-Brown, the chair of judges, said: “A big thank you to all the first round judges for their tireless and vital contribution to this year’s Effies. We all know what an enormously difficult year this has been, so to welcome so many worthy finalists into Round Two sends a very positive message about the value of the work our industry continues to produce despite very challenging circumstances.
“Cases and results will now be assessed by panels of senior marketers, putting an important lens over how agency work is driving business performance.”
The Effie Awards dinner was intended to also take place on 30 October, however new details about the awards presentation will be announced soon.
The Effies are jointly presented by The Communications Council and the Australian Association of National Advertisers in association with Think TV.
