On the seventeenth floor of Rogers’ campus and overlooking a drenched downtown Toronto, a collection of the finest creative minds in advertising have gathered to assess a year’s worth of Canadian creative work.
The 2015 Marketing Awards jury – hand-picked by jury co-chairs Judy John, CEO and chief creative officer of Leo Burnett, and Peter Ignazi, chief creative officer at Cossette – have spent a day and a half debating and rating the best of this year’s more than 1,500 award entries.
Today marks their final day of judging.
