2018 Executive and Grand Jury Recruitment in Progress

The 2018 Midas Awards® for the World’s Best Financial Advertising℠ is now open for entries. Founded in 2001, the Midas Awards is the only awards show to recognize excellence in financial advertising and marketing on a global scale.

“The Midas Awards has a 17-year legacy of honoring the World’s Best Financial Advertising,” said Scott Rose, Executive Director of the Midas Awards. “Midas’ reach extends over regional, national and continental boundaries to provide a global view of advertising and corporate communications in the international financial community and continues to be the only international advertising competition that honors the world of financial advertising and marketing.”

In 2017, Midas Awards Executive Director Scott Rose assembled the inaugural Midas Executive Jury panel comprised of creative officers and executive creative directors from the world’s foremost advertising agencies as well as prominent internationally recognized experts in financial policy and communications. Midas’ Executive Jury panel reviews all the Shortlisted entries selected by the Midas Awards Grand Jury and provides an even more comprehensive evaluation of global creative work.

“2018’s Executive Jury recruitment is off to a brilliant start,” added Rose. “We’re thrilled to have Joyce King Thomas, Chairman/Chief Creative Officer for McCann XBC and Creative Director for “Fearless Girl” as one of the award-winning creative executives onboard to judge this year’s competition.”

Fearless Girl,” McCann New York’s ground-breaking creative on behalf of State Street Global Advisors earned the prestigious Grand Midas Award and Best of Show in New York Festivals International Advertising Awards as well as top accolades in other top international competitions.

Jury selection has begun for the 2018 Midas Awards Executive and Grand Juries. Midas’ juries represent the world’s most respected and influential minds in financial advertising.
