Eurobest, the leading Awards for benchmarking European creativity and effectiveness, has announced the 2019 Jury Presidents, bringing expertise from across the European creative industry to the Awards
The 12 Presidents, 42% of whom are women, are dedicated experts selected from across the European creativity industry for their diverse specialisms, backgrounds and skills. The Presidents, alongside their juries will convene in London this November, to select the most exceptional creative ideas, and business solutions, from the European region. The winners will be announced on 9th December and the top accolades – Grands Prix and special awards – will be revealed at eurobest Unwrapped. This focused, invite-only, event on 12 December takes place at the Aqua Restaurant in the Shard and will also be live-streamed from London.
