London International Awards announces 2024 Non-Traditional and TV & Cinema and Online Film Juries: Representing Asia are Swati Bhattacharya, Morihiko Hasebe + Jon Chalermwong

London International Awards (LIA) has announced Nadja Lossgott, Chief Creative Officer, AMV BBDO, London as Jury President for the Non-Traditional competition. Marco Venturelli, Chief Creative Officer, Publicis France and CEO/CCO, Publicis Conseil, Paris will chair the TV & Cinema and Online Film Jury.

Representing Asia on these juries are; Swati Bhattacharya (pictured middle), Former Creative Chairperson at FCB India, Morihiko Hasebe (pictured left), Global Executive Creative Director at Hakuhodo Inc and Jon Chalermwong (pictured right), Chief Creative at audacity Co., Bangkok.

In its 39th year, LIA continues to gather the world’s most celebrated creative minds, whose high standards will set the bar for ensuring that only the very best creative ideas and executions are awarded. Lossgott and Venturelli will lead these two power-house juries through all rounds of judging onsite at Encore @ Wynn, Las Vegas. LIA’s transparent judging ensures that all jurors see every piece of work in their respective categories, having spirited discussions and debates through the very end of statue discussions. These panels decide on the Gold, Silver and Bronze Statue Winners, as well as, the Finalists. Each panel, at their discretion, also decides on whether a Grand LIA will be awarded. As there is no off-site pre-judging, all judges are fully involved from the beginning to the end, so everyone is privy to the final results before they are published.

Lossgott said: “I’m thrilled to be judging the work that doesn’t fit a specific mould and sits outside of the boundaries of the known. These are the ideas and executions that plot a new path for our industry.”

‘Engagement’ is crucial to the success of a product or service. Brands want to engage with their consumers in a real and meaningful way. Non-Traditional advertising is an unconventional and inventive way to get attention and involvement from consumers.

Venturelli said: “What I love about LIA is the quality of the juries and the level of discussions. To be able to review together all submissions live is priceless. LIA is a benchmark in our industry. We’re not only looking for the best work, but for the few pieces that truly move us forward. The few pieces that reinvent how we do our jobs, from conception to execution.”

Since the first 10-second TV commercial in black and white for Bulova watch, ran in 1941, television commercials have come a long way. Consumers can be reached via online, streaming or cable. Television commercials still have massive impact as they combine motion, sound and sight to tell compelling stories that have the power to connect, evoke emotions and leave a lasting impression.

Barbara Levy, President of LIA, said: “Today’s consumers are very savvy, as they are exposed to so much information. There is no doubt that brands get results from both Non-Traditional and traditional media such as television, cinema and online film. Bottom line is: creativity is a key component, no matter how brands choose to advertise. We have the best people in both those jury rooms, so we are watching out for the most creative work to emerge from those two competitions.”
