Bucharest, Romania — This Wednesday, June 11th, marks a significant gathering for the advertising industry as jury members from Central and Eastern Europe assemble to dissect key trends and highlight standout campaigns from the 2025 Gerety Awards. During the session, these leaders will also determine the region’s top agency and production company of the year.
The event serves not only as a platform for honor but also as a forum for setting the global benchmarks, as these executives contribute to the Gerety Awards’ worldwide shortlist. Every year, agencies and production companies keen to earn the prestigious regional title must submit a five-minute reel showcasing up to three of their best works from the preceding 12 months.
The distinction of Agency or Production Company of the Year is meticulously selected in each participating country by the executive jury. Submissions are required to adhere to specific guidelines, including the exclusion of all branding and logos, except for a thumbnail image within the portfolio presentation.
The Gerety Awards orchestrates these critical jury sessions across 15 global cities including New York, Toronto, Paris, and Tokyo, bringing together more than 250 judges from 50 different nations. This broad representation ensures a rich diversity of perspectives in evaluating and celebrating the year’s creative outputs.
Post-judging, the Gerety Awards engages with the international community through jury insight panels. These discussions offer a deeper understanding as a select group of judges from each jury pool share their insights on their preferred works and discuss emerging trends in advertising.
In Romania, the panel discussion will be steered by Romanita Oprea, a seasoned editor, and will feature prominent figures like Raluca Kovacs, founder and CSO of Better, Carina Toma, digital creative director at McCann Worldgroup, and Diana-Maria Tanase, head of marketing for Mastercard.
Attendees can also look forward to exclusive networking opportunities, including the Gerety VIP Diamond BBQ Party in Cannes, offering another level of engagement with industry leaders. Those interested in participating in future awards or attending this year’s functions were prompted to RSVP by the final deadline on May 9th.
The convergence of these creative minds not only symbolizes the acknowledgment of the past year’s exemplary advertisements but also sets the stage for the upcoming trends and innovations in the industry. Such gatherings are crucial in driving forward the standards of creativity and executing strategic marketing across the globe.
