The judging session, organized by Executive Jury member, Zuleika Burnett, Executive Director, Creative and Innovation for Havas Life Medicom reviewed creative entries from around the globe.

 
Zuleika Burnett had this to say about judging this year’s Global Awards. “Judging Creativity? Innovation? Upstream thinking? That is what makes these international awards so important. It’s about encouraging the best creativity in healthcare, and helping us to celebrate the power of creativity in our ultra connected world. The Global Awards recognises the value of emotion in creativity and strives to reward campaigns which have an edge by being unique, instinctive, and authentic. I am honored to support this vision by hosting the London judging – setting the bar high and rewarding achievement.”
