The purpose of the PHNX Tribute is to honour the best work of the past 12 months and demonstrate our industry’s resilience. It is aimed at individual creatives and teams: the people behind the great work. Agencies, freelancers, brands and production have been asked to enter their best work into a carefully distilled selection of 25 categories.
Philippe Paget, CEO of AdForum’s parent company Maydream, said: “We always aimed for a diverse jury and frankly it worked out better than we could have hoped. Major networks, independent agencies and freelancers are represented, as are the creative leaders, strategists and opinion formers who, working together, make up the core of our community.”
In short, AdForum PHNX Tribute is on course to put creativity back in the spotlight. The jury is still growing and entries are open – join us to rise and shine!
