Epica Awards announces new website and ad campaign

24 Jun 2019

The category was proposed by Epica’s communications officer Katia Chelpanova, who commented: “Previously this type of campaign fell within our Social category, but in the wake of the #MeToo movement and amid concerns about approaches to gender equity and identity around the world, I felt it was necessary to specifically highlight these issues.”

Gender Equity becomes the second new category to be introduced for this season’s Epica Awards after Creative Use of Data, announced earlier in the year.

Confirmed Gerety Awards jurors: Nunu Ntshingila, regional director of Facebook Africa; Susan Credle, global CCO of FCB; Merlee Cruz-Jayme, "Chairmom" and CCO of Dentsu Jayme Syfu; as well as Rosie Arnold, former CCO of AMV BBDO.
