2025 JUDGING PANEL


A NOTE FROM THE EDITOR

In a world where brands have more avenues to reach consumers than ever before, the unrivalled power of original creative ideas endures.


Brands, their agencies, and partners have innovated and evolved their approach to creative work in recent years amid a challenging economic and political backdrop. One thing is clear: the need for true commercial creativity has never been greater. 

The Campaign Big Awards 2025 will bring together the UK advertising industry to celebrate all that it has achieved in the last year and inspire us for the future.
