Why I am judging the awards... "I am taking part in this year's Social Media awards as I'm really keen to play a role in recognizing and rewarding industry leading work in the UK.The awards are really important as it gives us an opportunity to learn about and keep up with best practice, in an industry that is forever changing. I will be looking for examples of true brand impact and audience cut through. Especially during this period of time - when platforms are busier than ever, your brand's voice and activations need to be stronger than ever."
