GLOBAL – The Gerety Awards reveals the full Global Executive Jury for its 2026 edition, bringing together an international collective of creative leaders who will define this year’s shortlist.
Following the announcement of Jury Presidents and global judging locations, the awards now confirm the professionals who will sit across 15 in-person jury sessions worldwide, evaluating the work that will shape the benchmark for creativity in 2026.
From creatives and strategists to producers, filmmakers, brand leaders and social specialists, the jury represents the full breadth of the communications industry — reflecting the diverse perspectives that the Gerety Awards was founded to champion.
Executive judging sessions will take place in London, Auckland, Toronto, New York, Paris, Stockholm, Hong Kong, Dubai, Madrid, Milan, Mexico City, Bangkok, Los Angeles, Berlin and São Paulo. Each session brings together influential regional voices who understand how work resonates locally, while collectively contributing to a global creative standard.
Kanokkan Rinnachit, Managing Director, Yell Bangkok and Jury President commented: “Taking the role of Bangkok Jury President at Gerety Awards is more than an honor for me. It’s an opportunity to understand how creativity reflects and connects with people today, in a fast moving world where attention is captured in moments. I believe work grounded in local insight and cultural relevance can create impact that goes far beyond communication. Creativity lives in market understanding. I’m grateful to collaborate with such a diverse group of women leaders, and look forward to recognizing work that delivers meaningful impact for both brands and culture.”
More than 260 judges from 50 countries will join the 2026 Gerety Awards.
The Gerety Awards are recognised within leading global industry rankings, such as The Drum World Creative Rankings, and from 2026, Gerety winners will also be included in the Campaign Brief Asia Rankings, ensuring that awarded work contributes directly to the international performance tables that shape agency and creative reputations worldwide.
