On naming this year’s predicted award show favorites, Gina Grillo, President and CEO of The ADVERTISING Club of New York and INTERNATIONAL ANDY Awards stated, “As the first show of the advertising award season, and one with a slightly accelerated eligibility timeline, we pride ourselves on our ability to predict award season favorites. This year’s ANDYs LIVE jury opened the judging room for the very first time so that we all could hear what the judges had to say about the work entered. We invite the entire industry to watch the jury’s discussion from our judging on the ANDYs Meta page — it’s an amazing opportunity to be in the room with the industry’s leading creatives as the work is candidly discussed.”
