NYF's Advertising Awards to debut "The Future Now" category, names jury president
“The pandemic accelerated a deep dive, mainstream awareness into the world of “bits” opening up new “real estate” for culture and business to capture or be captured by. This category group is for interesting, meaningful bespoke use of technology that drives superior consumer experience on behalf of the brand,” said Scott Rose, executive director for New York Festivals Advertising Awards.
New categories within this future reaching group include Generative Creative, Altered Reality, Decentralized Tech, Best Innovation, and Crypto Product & Service Advertising.
