LONDON, July 13, 2017 - (ACN Newswire) - WARC, the global authority on advertising and media effectiveness, has named the jury panel of the Effective Use of Tech category for its Media Awards 2017, an international competition rewarding communications planning which has made a positive impact on business results for brands around the world.

The jury, made up of senior executives from brands, agencies and tech-inspired businesses will be chaired by Kristi Argyilan, Senior Vice President, Media and Guest Engagement at Target, where she is responsible for leading and integrating Target's paid, earned, owned and shared media initiatives.
The Effective Use of Tech judges are:

Commenting on judging the Use of Tech category, jury member Paul Dalton, Chief Media Officer, International, DigitasLBi says: "Technology needs to be in the service of the customer. Tech for tech's sake looks impressive but if it doesn't actually benefit the customer in any way, what's the point? It needs to align well with the brand idea and the brand focus."
