The 20th anniversary of the Strategic Excellence Awards means we continue to up the ante – and our jury reflects all the pizzazz our industry has to offer. Your work will be reviewed by leaders who get strategy, culture, and creative courage—people who’ve built iconic brands and breakthrough ideas.

Led by Stephanie Eaddy, cultural marketing lead at The Coca-Cola Company, and Luis Miguel Messianu, founder-president-chief creative officer of MEL, this is exactly the jury you want seeing your deck.
