Amanda to do Jury Service

At the end of March I’m going to get my first chance to do jury service. I’ve always wanted to get involved in a major case that involves hundreds of twists and turns. However, in this case, the jury in question is an advertising jury.

I’m going to be judging the first stage of the European Association of Communications Agencies’ Ad Venture competition, alongside a number of fellow advertising professionals, academics and even EU officials. Students from across Europe are invited to form a virtual agency and prepare a campaign to promote their town or city.

I’m really looking forward to seeing the calibre of work that the next generation of advertising luminaries can serve up. Watch this space to see if the verdict is a favourable one!
