Tutssel comments, “It is an immense privilege to lead the LIA's Non-Traditional Jury. I am thrilled to be tasked with the mission to seek and honour revolutionary ideas fuelled by bravery, resulting from the alchemy of creativity and technology. To move our industry forward, we need to encourage and celebrate fresh ideas - the unexpected and the unconventional - that have created dynamic business transformations.”

Since taking the role of Global CCO in 2005, Tutssel has helped Leo Burnett rise to become the most awarded network in the world according to Advertising Age, with 85 offices contributing to its creative reputation. Under his vision, Leo Burnett has developed world-class campaigns for some of the world’s most iconic brands. His work has earned every major creative accolade attainable and he has chaired award shows such as LIA, Clio, Spikes, ADFEST and Cannes Lions. Campaign Magazine has named Mark the No. 1 Worldwide Creative Director, a designation upheld by his experience as a Jury President at LIA, among the many other credits he continues to accumulate.
