About this event

The Gerety Awards are unique because they redefine the standard to which advertising is held. Named after Frances Gerety, the copywriter who coined the slogan “A diamond is forever”, the awards mark the first time that juries have been brought together to select the best in advertising – all advertising, not just advertising made for women – through the female lens.

In this lively discussion join Jury presidents from Essity, Lego and Publicis as they lift the lid on the trends driving award winning work from across the globe. With a mixture of practical advice on the conditions needed to create such genre-defining work in the first place and practical insights from marketing leaders this is a must-watch event.
