Over 100 industry leaders join Mumbrella NeXt Awards live judging panel
Leaders from across the media, marketing and advertising industries will come together to form Mumbrella’s strongest ever jury for the NeXt Awards’ live judging day on 6 December.
The jury for the awards – which seek to recognise those who have been in the industry for 10 years or less – is comprised of over 100 executives including Fairfax CEO Greg Hywood, Tourism Australia CMO Lisa Ronson, Nova Entertainment CEO Cathy O’Connor, SBS chief content officer John Sintras, Samsung CMO Joshua Grace, Facebook Australia’s managing director Will Easton as well as CEOs and representatives from Australia’s most successful media, creative agencies and PR agencies, consultancies and entertainment companies.
The Mumbrella NeXt jury will deliberate on 6 December in Sydney to choose 10 up-and-comers in the industry across categories including PR Talent, Commercial Talent, Events Talent and Marketers.
Following the live deliberation, the Mumbrella NeXt Awards will take place at the Four Seasons in Sydney on the very same day, as part of a wider celebration for Mumbrella’s 10th anniversary.
