It has been a pure pleasure to be part of the MENA Digital Awards jury for several years, and I am impressed of the level of digital innovation and use of digital media in the region. It warms my hearth to see an increasing number of entries, being able to challenge the brief they are given by their clients. Looking beyond the short-term performance effects of campaigns, and instead gathering powerful insights that help them develop creative and sustainable solutions for both their clients and the communities they target. The balance of being able to think long term, and act on a short-term basis is difficult. Those who succeed on the other hand, creates award winning work with much greater impact.

I highly enjoyed judging some bar raising entries across multiple pillars. The entries showcased some advanced skills and well thought of work. Many of the entries were fueled by experimental strategies
and tactics and were data-driven. Also glad to see the increase of digital agencies and talents participating in the awards. This is a testament of a promising industry for many years to come.

What really stood out in the entries was how strongly the Marketing strategy ran through the creative execution of the campaigns. The best campaigns had an approach that was powered by data, and that made participation easy, in a way that took advantage of people’s natural behaviours on social media.
