Chemistry Auckland shortlisted at Gerety Awards 2023

The Gerety Awards, the prestigious creative prize that assembles an exclusively female jury, has disclosed the international shortlist which included Chemistry Auckland.

In the Work for Good Cut category, Chemistry Auckland’s impactful campaign, “Painting a Portrait of the Aged Care Crisis” for Aged Care Matters, has earned a spot on the shortlist, showcasing the agency’s commendable work from New Zealand.

“Shout out to an impressive, insightful and articulate panel of jurors who brought robust discussion and fresh perspectives to the work in front of us. Some, who had previously not had the opportunity to represent on an international jury, added an invaluable and unique lens on a range of subjects –  from calling out ableist language in one piece, to bringing first-hand experience as a female gamer to another. Creating a platform for this is just one reason the Gerety Awards continues to play an important role in the industry,” says Ambassador Kim Pick, ECD at VMLY&R New Zealand.

In-person judging sessions were held around the world, and this week you can watch the jury insight panels LIVE from Romania, UK, USA, Colombia, Spain, Sweden, UAE, India and AU/NZ.
