Gerety Announces 2025 Jury Insights From South Africa

As well as defining the Gerety 2025 global shortlist, the Middle East and Africa jury session will choose the MEA Agency and Production Company of the Year, says the awards. 

The awards says that entrants should submit a five-minute reel of up to three pieces of work from the past 12 months into the MEA Agency of the Year or Production Company of the Year category.

No logos or branding in the portfolio, cut apart from the logo for the thumbnail image, is allowed, says Gerety. 

Gerety says there are 15 locations for the jury sessions this year: New York, Toronto, London, Paris, Central and Eastern Europe, Southeast Asia, Düsseldorf, Madrid, Milan, LATAM, Melbourne, MEA, Los Angeles, Tokyo and São Paulo. In total, more than 250 judges from 50 countries will join the 2025 Gerety Awards. 

Just like in previous years’ post-judging, Gerety says it organises jury insight panels with the leading trade press titles from around the world so that a few judges from each jury group can discuss their favourite works and trends. The South Africa Jury Insight panel is moderated by Danette Breitenbach, Marketing and Media Editor at Bizcommunity.com, and the panel includes:

• Linda Kachingwe-Sisya, Executive Head of Marketing and Communications, Africa and International, RMB and FNB, and
• Koo Govender, CEO, Publicis Groupe Africa.
