The Immortal Awards Announces 2024 Canada Jury Lineup
The Immortal Awards has revealed the names of the advertising leaders who will sit on the 2024 Canada jury.
The jury will convene in Toronto on November 5th for the Canada jury day, which this year is being supported by Zulu Alpha Kilo. The jury will decide which projects, if any, will be crowned the best of Canadian advertising and go on to represent the market in the regional round of North American judging.
Joining the group are standout creatives and leaders from across the brand, agency, production and post worlds.
Having picked up both an Immortal Award - the first-ever awarded to Canada - and a Commendation last year, Rethink will feature and be represented by Aaron Starkman.
There is a strong agency contingent on the jury this year, including Edelman Canada’s Anthony Chelvanathan, FCB Toronto’s Nancy Crimi-Lamanna, Dentsu Creative’s Jordan Doucette, McCann Canada’s Amanda ‘AJ’ Jones, and Zulu Alpha Kilo’s Brian Murray.
Brands are represented by Pizza Pizza’s Adrian Fuoco and Kruger’s Susan Irving, as well as Damon Crate from Kraft-Heinz's in-house agency The Kitchen.
Fela, Little Black Book’s #1 Canadian Production Company of the Year 2023, will feature with Taj Critchlow, whilst Fort York’s Pallavi Joshi-Firby completes the jury as a post production representative.

Commenting on the jury, Paul Monan, awards director at The Immortal Awards, says, “This will be our third year running the Canadian jury day in person, thanks to the continued support of Zulu Alpha Kilo. Over the years that we've been running the day, we've seen many truly incredible pieces of Canadian creativity, culminating in the market's first ever Immortal Award last year. This is one of the fiercest, most competitive jury days on our calendar and we can't wait to see what our jury thinks of this year's body of work.”
