Finalists were selected by the 2016 corporate agency sponsors greyhealth group and Havas Health & You. Gary Scheiner, EVP, Chief Creative Officer of greyhealth group and Beth Sabbatini EVP, Executive Creative Director of H4B Chelsea evaluated entries with their agency teams to determine the student submissions achieving Finalist status.
Ms. Sabbatini had this to say about the caliber of this year’s student entries, “The work we saw in this year’s competition was really inspiring. It was great to see how the teams arrived at an insight and then brought it to life through a variety of engaging tactics including gamification, apps, and celebrity influencers.”
“I was really pleased to see the tremendous breadth and depth of thinking these students applied to this brief. No two ideas were even remotely similar,” said Mr. Scheiner. “For me, the ideas that rose to the top were the ones where the teams applied strategic thinking and real insights that drove their creative decisions. They presented rational arguments to make their case. The best ideas were original, highly creative, and on brief. I’m optimistic about the future of healthcare marketing.”
Finalist teams will be interviewed by the Global Awards Young Globals sponsoring agencies to determine the 2016 Young Globals award-winner.
The Young Globals award winners will receive a Global Award, have their work showcased at the 2017 Global Awards ceremony, and be given the opportunity to experience a paid internship (minimum of one month), based on their availability, at the sponsoring healthcare advertising agencies.
