Jeremy Craigen, Global CCO of INNOCEAN Worldwide and LIA Print Jury President commented on the Grand: 

“This brilliant piece of work was a unanimous vote for the Print Grand LIA. What we all loved about it was how this piece made the good old humble print category into a completely modern and relevant medium. I hope this work goes on to win multiple effectiveness awards but sadly with the state of affairs in the US this just won’t happen. But that shouldn’t stop us from trying and delivering such a powerful message as this.”

When Perry Fair, LIA Branded Entertainment jury president was asked about Branded Entertainment he quoted Maximus: 

“Are you not entertained? Are you not entertained? Is this not why you are here?!”. Perry went on to say, “Branded Entertainment. Oh Branded Entertainment.  At its best, it’s an emotional journey balancing storytelling and information at the highest level.  At its worst, it’s a branded commercial. As a judge what you don’t want the work to feel like you are standing next to the old high school quarterback talking about how great it all was. As President of the Branded Entertainment category, I just wanted to see the jurors cry on their Vans or spit take on the other jury members all black outfit.  We all walked into this with the agenda of wanting to be entertained. And to its credit, the work didn’t disappoint.”

 

About the Grand LIA he had this to say:

“One submission stood out as our Grand LIA. 48 minutes long and we watched every second of it. It made us feel and talk and wonder about not just about the brand, or the story, but about the people and what happens next. It was everything we as judges wished we had created. And it entertained.”
