The Immortal Awards 2025 Judging Continues in London with UK Jury Day
Judging for The Immortal Awards 2025 continues in London on Wednesday 15th October, with the UK jury day held in partnership with Framestore and Company 3.
It’s the second in-person session of the year as Little Black Book’s global advertising award continues to judge across the European region, having kicked off with a fiercely contested session in Berlin from the German jury earlier this month.
For the fourth consecutive year, Framestore and Company 3 have partnered with Little Black Book to bring The Immortal Awards UK jury day to life, with the session taking place at Framestore’s London HQ.
Promising to be one of the calendar’s most competitive jury days, a shortlist consisting of 39 projects will be discussed and debated by the jury as the group looks to celebrate the best of British advertising and decide which projects -- if any -- will be crowned UK Finalists.
This year’s UK jury includes:
- Ana Balarin, chief creative officer, Wieden+Kennedy London
- Tara Ford, chief creative officer, Droga5 London
- Izaak Flanders, creative director and partner, Boo Agency
- Genevieve Grandsen, executive creative director, DAVID London
- Rory Peyton Jones, creative, Saatchi & Saatchi London
- Rupert Reynolds-McClean, managing director, Biscuit Filmworks
- Simone Sebastian, head of talent, Park Pictures
- Harjot Singh, global chief strategy officer, McCann and McCann Worldgroup
- Shelley Smoler, chief creative officer, Lucky Generals
- Helen Weil, head of advertising, Framestore
- David Wigglesworth, executive creative director, 4creative
Paul Monan, head of creative excellence at Little Black Book, says, “For the last few weeks, jurors all over the world have been judging online and scoring this year’s entries. The UK is our second biggest market in terms of volume of entries and the standard of the work is already super high, so we can’t wait to hear what our jury thinks of the 39 projects that have made the shortlist. Thanks to all of them for their time, effort and dedication in judging so far and a huge thank you to Framestore and Company 3 for their continued support of our UK jury day -- without their support this day wouldn’t be possible.”
Stephanie Bruning, global marketing director at Framestore, says, "It's always a fantastic opportunity for the jurors to come together, share ideas, and celebrate the outstanding creative work coming out of the UK. The Immortal Awards capture the very best work of the year -- a creative time capsule we're proud to be part of."
Having started in Berlin, Little Black books global advertising award will host sessions in London, Dublin, Dubai, Toronto, New York and Sydney in the coming weeks.
The competition’s six regions -- Europe, MEA, North America, LATAM, AUNZ and Asia -- will each have their own jury days, selecting regional Finalists that will compete in the global round of judging.
At the global round of judging, held in partnership with music production company JSM Music in New York on December 3rd, the jury will decide which projects this year will pick up a Commendation or receive the ultimate prize – an Immortal Award.
