"The Festival of Media Awards team assembled a room of some of the very best and brightest media minds from around the world, all in one place. Within minutes of getting started, it became evident that this was a very unique, very qualified and very aligned group all investing of their own time to make an impactful difference in the Media & Advertising business. Collectively, the team quickly coalesced around the theme of leaving a lasting legacy in the form of sharing and learning amongst each other, selecting the very best work, and in broadly celebrating the entrants for all in the industry to benefit from.

The work was truly inspiring across the board. The category of Public Service Award was particularly poignant, as was the entries in the Experiential category. These and others, such as Best Use of Content and Creative Use of Media demonstrated outstanding use of strategic thinking and goal setting up front, and then tremendous collaboration amongst clients, agencies, publishers and in many cases technology partners to yield astounding results that will provide learning for all interested parties for many years to come.

So, we laughed, learned, shared, debated, selected and celebrated some of the best media work from around the world to help enrich the innovative thinking in our evolving world of media…and we made some lifelong friends along the way…this is our legacy." - Michael Donnelly
