Spikes Asia has announced the jury presidents for the 2021 Spikes Asia Awards, as well as the full juries for the Tangrams Strategy and Effectiveness Awards (the jury presidents for the Tangrams were announced earlier).

The winners for both sets of awards will be announced in February. The final entry deadlines are January 7 for the Tangrams and January 21 for the Spikes Asia Awards. 

“This is a collective of leading experts from across the Asia-Pacific region whose knowledge and experience places them well to recognise genuine creative excellence while understanding the unique nuances of individual markets," said Philip Thomas, president of Ascential marketing division and chairman of Spikes Asia. "The 2021 Tangrams jury is our biggest lineup in the nearly two decade history of the awards and we’re proud to have achieved  gender parity.
