Jacob Holder
Managing Director and CEO
The Mobius Agency (TMA)
“Being part of the Davey Awards is such an honor! Each year, the level of talent, creativity, and innovation continues to grow. It’s always enlightening and inspiring to witness this evolution in Marketing. Congratulations to all the winners — truly well deserved!”
Brooke Lewis Bellas
Owner, Producer
Philly Chick Pictures
“It was a privilege and valuable educational experience to be a Juror for the 2025 Davey Awards. Each year, I am genuinely in awe of the Creators and content I am afforded the opportunity to judge, and each year, the technology and creative innovation exponentially advances. As an independent producer, myself, who knows the strength (and budgets!) it takes to be a Davey and conquer the entertainment Goliaths, I feel so proud of each of you!”
Brian Zandman
Executive Creative Director
SFC Group
“It’s always exciting to see the kind of bold, inventive thinking that comes out of small shops—especially when it’s done on limited budgets. Being part of the Davey Awards and helping spotlight that kind of raw, authentic creativity is a real privilege. Huge congrats to all the winners—your work reminds us why we do what we do.”
Christina Crawley
Lead Strategist
Virtuosa
“Judging the Davey Awards this season has been deeply inspiring. I was truly moved by the exceptional digital storytelling on display, with so many entries being a testament to the creativity of small but mighty teams. I was especially struck by projects that harnessed digital to advocate for genuine, positive change. From campaigns that spark important conversations to experiences that build meaningful connections, the work reminded me why storytelling matters and has the power to drive real transformation.”
James Buonantuono
SVP, Head of Creative
S50 Agency
“Exceptional work comes in all shapes, sizes and budgets. Judging the Davey Awards this year was a reminder that the “spark” of creativity is everywhere. In advertising there are too many stories about Goliaths, not enough about the many David’s. The Davey Awards tells those stories.”
Christine Collins
Managing Partner
Bergman Collins
“My judging experience at the Davey Awards is always genuinely inspiring. The entries I reviewed showed a phenomenal level of creativity and innovation, with campaigns that were compelling and demonstrated the power of effective communication. The thoughtful and passionate work displayed from the entries made the process of judging both demanding and incredibly fulfilling —a testament to the truly high caliber of work submitted. It was a privilege to witness the work being done by Creatives throughout our industry. Viewing the work opened my eyes to what’s possible and brings me great joy reflecting on what we’ll see next.”
