After much consideration the eclectic selection of communication specialists is finalised to form the technically strong 2012 APEX awards adjudication panel that includes captains of industry, strategists, marketers, creatives and researchers.
APEX is the only awards programme in the advertising and communications sector that honours effectiveness. Winners of an APEX are recognised for having succeeded in developing a creative solution from insightful strategic thinking which has had a direct and measurable impact on the bottom line of the client.
“APEX adjudication is an extremely stringent process which we approach holistically and for which we require an expert jury. I believe we have succeeded in soliciting the cream of the South African advertising and communications sector for the 2012 jury” says , CEO of the Association for Communication and Advertising (ACA).
The esteemed Andy Rice will once again Chair the adjudication panel: “The opportunity to show the business community that marketing communications is a serious, professional and effective discipline worthy of their full commitment is very meaningful for me.”
