IAPI has announced details of its panel of judges for the first round of judging in this year’s Effie Awards Ireland.
The judging panel will once again be chaired by Damian Devaney, senior partner, TBV Global, who took on the role in 2021.
“Access to the Effies is an opportunity for Irish agencies to be part of a recognised global framework that champions effectiveness of creativity,” says Devaney.
“And at 50 years old, it is a tried and trusted methodology. More importantly, It’s an opportunity for agencies to clearly demonstrate the impact they, and the clients marketing departments, can have on an organisations performance. The framework seeks clarity of objective setting, powerful insight development, strategic clarity and effective execution. It’s about delivering results and I value the opportunity to serve as a jury chair and to support great Irish creativity,” he adds.
