About the awards
The Campaign Big Awards celebrate work created both in the UK and internationally. The only criterion for entry is that the work must have been seen by the public in the UK during the eligibility period.
Claire Beale, editor, Campaign:
"The Campaign Big Awards has always had some big ambitions. To champion and celebrate the very best work, in any and all media, in one place, on one night. And one of the very best things about this approach is that it brings together the brightest agencies and the smartest clients from across the advertising spectrum to applaud and reward brilliant British advertising".
Steve Vranakis, digital chair and creative director, VCCP:
"It's the UK saying that your stuff is up there with the best. A bit of recognition in one of the world's most creative advertising markets. Whatever the medium, if you're thinking about awards. Think Campaign Big".
Steve Aldridge, direct chair and creative partner, Partners Andrews Aldridge:
"The Big Awards are truly reflective of the times we work in and the nature of the ideas we create. Increasingly we see a single idea span multiple sectors and media. These awards allow us to showcase and reward cutting edge work".
Russell Ramsey, outdoor chair and executive creative director, JWT London:
"The Big Awards are a real and important temperature gauge of creativity across all the media channels. The Winners represent the best examples of work done in the UK and some will hopefully prove to be amongst the best pieces of communication in the world".
Graham Fink, press chair and creative director, M&C Saatchi:
"The Big Awards are important. They encourage our industry to try harder. Creative people need recognition from their peers as well as their clients and winning a Big Award is a highlight in a creatives’ barcode".
Jon Burley, radio chair and group executive creative director, Leo Burnett:
"The Big Awards actually do what they say they do – they acknowledge big ideas across every channel, enabling our industry to celebrate the new and the excellent rather than the usual suspects".
Nick Gill, TV & cinema chair and executive creative director, Bartle Bogle Hegarty:
"I'm a big fan of the Campaign Big Awards. It's the only UK awards scheme that reflects the diverse media landscape we all work in. I like how the ceremony mixes up new and traditional media and forces us to treat it all with equal status, judging only the quality of an idea".
Antony Miller, head of media development, Royal Mail:
"It's easy to be cynical about awards events, but the Big Awards is among the few that really justifies adding "award winning" to a winner's CV".
Rob Atkinson, managing director, Clear Channel Outdoor:
"The Big Awards celebrate ideas that create fame, talkability and an emotional response. Outdoor is part of the big conversation and Clear Channel is proud to be a sponsor".
