London - As preparations continue for the launch of
Lions Innovation (the new festival exploring data and technology as catalysts
for creativity during Cannes Lions), juries for the two categories to form its
associated awards have been announced. The distinguished panels assembled for
the inaugural Creative Data Lions and newly expanded Innovation Lions are
reflective of industry shifts and provide a strong indication of what to expect
from judging.
Saatchi & Saatchi Worldwide Creative
Digital Director Tom Eslinger has been selected for the Jury of the new
Creative Data Lions. The composition of the founding jury, which
unites the industry’s most senior data, strategy and analytics specialists and
its most awarded creatives, is a barometer for entries.
Tom Eslinger sits on the Saatchi &
Saatchi Worldwide Creative Board, and works
across Saatchi & Saatchi’s worldwide digital capability. Based in NYC, Eslinger has a worldwide focus
across network clients for integrated creative, strategy and operations and
specifically on NYC-based clients.
Eslinger is a multiple Cannes Lion winner across outdoor, cyber, media,
direct and promo for web and mobile work. In 2012, Tom was the first President
of the newly minted Mobile Lions, following his 2007 Presidency of the Cyber
Lions. It was Tom’s fourth Cannes jury appearance, also serving on the 2002
Cyber and 2006 Titanium juries.
Eslinger
is the author of ‘Mobile Magic: The Saatchi & Saatchi Guide to Mobile
Marketing’, which offers a roadmap for creating effective mobile marketing
campaigns.
