About the AMVBBDO Grand Prix, Grand Jury Member Rifah Qadri, Executive Director Marketing easypaisa from Pakistan had the following to say: “Never just a period is a masterclass in storytelling, every frame amplifies emotion wit and urgency of the message. The pacing”, the transitions and the visual juxtapositions pull you in and make it unforgettable, turning a sensitive subject impossible to ignore.” Oriane (Abouattier) Canfrin, Head of Marketing and Communications, Ecobank and Grand Jury member from Côte d’Ivoire added: “Never Just A Period is the kind of work that transcends borders, industries, and generations. Whatever our background, profession, or age, as women we’ve all felt (or should feel) concerned by the message it carries. It’s bold, unapologetic, and beautifully executed. This campaign breaks taboos, and it builds empathy with striking aesthetics and that, to me, is Grand Prix-worthy.”
UK Grand Jury member, Jo-ann Robertson CEO, Global Markets at Ketchum also commented on the other Craft Grand Prix: “Senna’s cut is a masterpiece in craft. The pacing of the film to Senna’s 1990 record-breaking Monaco lap leaves the viewer breathless and determined to watch the documentary. On first viewing I was in awe of the editing and both the idea and the execution are deserving of a Gerety Grand Prix.”
Grand Jury member Nwakaego Boyo, Founder/ Managing Director, Temple Productions from Nigeria commented on McCann’s Paris Grand Prix: “Not just a powerful female manifesto but it is a really compelling emotional film, combining traditional film craft, authentic and immersive storytelling that resonates really powerfully”.
“As a marketer on the African continent, I can honestly say that this campaign touched me deeply. In these tough economic times, when people are overwhelmed and brands are under pressure, it reminds us that marketing can still connect through empathy, truth, and courage. It’s soft yet powerful—feminine values we need more of in our industry. It doesn’t shout, it speaks. It doesn’t sell, it moves. In a world full of noise, this campaign chose meaning—and that’s why it deserves the Grand Prix” added Waithera Kabiru, Africa Digital Hub -Lead Diageo Africa, Grand Jury member from Kenya, about Price Packs for PENNY.
