Mark comments: "It is an immense privilege to lead the LIA's Non-Traditional Jury. I'm thrilled to be tasked with the mission to seek and honour revolutionary ideas fuelled by bravery, resulting from the alchemy of creativity and technology. To move our industry forward, we need to encourage and celebrate fresh ideas -- the unexpected and the unconventional -- that have created dynamic business transformations."

The Non-Traditional Jury seeks to recognise the finest and most inventive entries making use of environment and experience to get across their message.

Under Mark’s vision, Leo Burnett has developed world-class campaigns for some of the world’s most iconic brands.
