Swati Bhattacharya becomes jury president for non-traditional category at LIA Awards 2023

London International Awards has announced the 2023 jury presidents and jurors for the digital and use of social media influencers and non-traditional competitions. 

The non-traditional jury will be led by Swati Bhattacharya, Creative Chairperson at FCB India.

In addition to Bhattacharya serving as jury president, Mukund Olety, Chief Creative Officer at VMLY&R Mumbai will be representing India on the Digital and Use of Social Media & Influencers Jury.

Chris Garbutt, Chief Creative Officer at Vice Media Group and President at Virtue Worldwide will lead the Digital and Use of Social Media and Influencers Jury. 

Bhattacharya commented, “Non-Traditional is that beautiful fertile strip of imagination where a brand does magic in new places with a new song… and new dance… I’m so excited to witness this magic with a bunch of really clever people in the room.” 

Garbutt said, “Digital and social marketing is consistently at the frontline of industry change. Tapping into talent and the organic communities they build is a key part of the work we do for our clients at Vice, so I'm hugely excited to be the Jury President for the Digital and Use of Social Media & Influencers category at LIA this year.”

Barbara Levy, President of LIA, commented, “I am excited that Chris Garbutt and Swati Bhattacharya, two of the most-awarded creatives in the world, will join us in Las Vegas for their first-time judging LIA onsite. They and their respective juries will vote on all work within their competitions from the first round of judging through the statue round.  I am eager to see the final results of what I know will be intense deliberations.”
