Cannes Lions appoints Bozoma Saint John, others as Jury Presidents
Bozoma Saint John, Chief Marketing Officer, Netflix, has been appointed President of the Glass: The Lion for Change Jury.
Alongside her, Merlee Jayme, Global President of Dentsu Mcgarrybowen and Chairmom of Dentsu Jayme Syfu, joins the jury as president of Radio & Audio Lions, while Geoff Northcott, Global Chief Experience Officer & Managing Partner, EMEA, AKQA has been appointed as president of the Creative Business Transformation Lions.
Completing the Jury line-up for the 2020/2021 awards, these final appointments make the Jury President make-up 57% female – the highest in the Awards’ history, and significant progress from 2019’s Jury (33% female).
“We need to recognise the brands and advertisers who are driving positive progress and change in the world by reflecting an equal world. This is why the Glass Lions are so important – they shine a light on work that has really impacted the issue of gender inequality. I can’t wait to see how brands approach this ongoing challenge in new and fresh ways this year,” said Bozoma.
