The Drum Awards for Online Media jury has been announced
This year’s eclectic judging panel, which you can see in full below, spans the world with representation from the US, UK, Asia and beyond, across titles that delve into technology, science, sports, finance, business and entertainment.
They will cast their eye over work that epitomizes an industry on the cusp of more big changes, according to jury member and VP of digital at NBC Universal + Sky, Haley Cochrane. In her day job, Cochrane is watching closely the emergence of CTV platforms which she believes are paving the way for advances in audience measurement which will lead to a rise in programmatic spending.
On what she'd like to see from entrants, Cochrane said: “Work that appeals to our emotions, makes us feel things. Storytelling will always persevere and technology enables us to tell stories in new and exciting ways across all screens and platforms… and data helps inform us as to what resonates and what doesn’t. I love work that brings the world of art and science together.”
The Drum Awards for Online Media are open for entires now. Categories include editorial team of the year, best commercial innovation and publisher of the year.
Last year's show saw LadBible scoop publisher of the year, Mixmag take home website of the year and BBC.com's feature sites staff crowned editorial team of the year.
This year's nominees will be revealed on Wednesday 23 March at 3pm GMT before the awards ceremony is broadcast live online on Friday 29 April. For more information visit the Online Media Awards website.
