Says Stuart Myerscough, president, BADC: “We’re continually amazed at the quality of entries that are received each year.

“Already, with the awards’ theme of ‘Sink or Swim – Only the best ideas will rise’, there is a lot of interest and chatter building around which finalists will rise to the top and be a medallist in their category.

“The judging panel, which is made up of some of the country’s top creative talent, have had a tough task to separate the high calibre of entries received in 2019. The dedication to quality and powerful messaging has really shone through.”

Myerscough also said the BADC is delighted to announce specialist digital, IT & creative recruitment firm ARIS•ZINC has signed on as the sole recruiting and consulting gold tier sponsor for next four years to 2023.
