Among them is former dnata Travel Group UK head of PR and communications Phil Bloomfield, of Bloom Communications, who said the awards were a great opportunity to learn about – and also to celebrate – the industry’s best work, reflect on the care and creativity that’s gone into campaigns, and reward the efforts of those who have worked hard on them.
TikTok brand partnerships manager Carl Ellis said he would be looking out for campaigns “skilfully blending strategy, creativity and innovation” that ensure big ideas align with business goals – and deliver “tangible results”.
Colette Sullivan, Fairmont Hotels and Resorts’ global brand manager, added: “The quality of work submitted over the last few years has demonstrated the creativity and adaptability across travel during challenging times, and it’s so important to take a pause and celebrate that.
“I’m looking forward to seeing great examples of strategy driven and creative approaches that have proven to deliver results.”
