Los Jurados de este año reflejan la creciente diversidad de las voces que moldean la industria creativa global, con perspectivas frescas de agencias independientes y marcas de una amplia gama de sectores. Entre aquellos que debutan en el Jurado se encuentra la marca francesa AXA, tras su éxito en 2025, ganando 13 Leones. La alineación también da la bienvenida a una mayor representación de África, Pacífico, MENA y LATAM, incluyendo Jurados debutantes de República Dominicana y Venezuela.

Comentando sobre los jurados de este año, Simon Cook, CEO de LIONS, dijo: “El impacto del Jurado de Cannes Lions no puede subestimarse. Su tiempo y experiencia en reconocer trabajos innovadores establecen el estándar creativo global para el año venidero y proporcionan una visión de la forma futura de la creatividad. Cada año, nuestros Jurados son cuidadosamente seleccionados para mantener este estándar, y este año no es la excepción. Damos la bienvenida a nuevas voces expertas de una amplia gama de mercados y disciplinas, y estamos encantados de reunir a algunos de los líderes más respetados de la industria para definir los estándares creativos que impulsan nuestra industria hacia adelante y celebrar el poder transformador de la creatividad para generar cambio, moldear la sociedad y construir negocios.”

Marian Brannelly, Directora Global de Premios de LIONS, añadió: “La composición de los Jurados de este año habla de cómo está evolucionando la creatividad – se está volviendo más interconectada, más diversa y más influyente en cada parte del negocio. Con más mercados representados que nunca y un número creciente de líderes de agencias independientes y marcas, la alineación de este año asegurará que el trabajo sea juzgado a través de una lente verdaderamente global y contemporánea. Esto es crítico para establecer el estándar de excelencia creativa hoy. Agradecemos a todos nuestros expertos el cuidado y la dedicación que aportarán al proceso de juzgamiento.”
