Manuel Bordé, North American Creative Partner at VML commented: “This recognition as Gerety’s North America Agency of the Yea celebrates the incredible creative momentum across VML, as we continue to rank among the best at the world’s biggest shows. More importantly, it proves that work for our biggest clients can break through culture, build brands and drive conversion. Another powerful signal that we’re building something special. Huge credit to our brilliant teams and brave clients who make it possible.”
“It’s an honor to be recognized by the Gerety Awards as North American Production Company of the Year”, commented Kelly Bayett, Co-Founder & Managing Partner, Love Song. “We are not a traditional production company. Our roster is intentionally small, we make space for up-and-coming directors to hone their talents, we collaborate, and most importantly, we’re not afraid to challenge norms and push the entire industry forward. To be recognized by an organization like Gerety, which celebrates the highest standards of creative excellence, is not only an honor, but a testament to the ethos of Love Song and the amazing work everyone on the team has put in this year. From the directors flipping the traditional commercial structure on its head, to the producers helping bring that work to life, and the brands and agencies that trust us to deliver great, compelling work. I’m so proud of what Love Song has achieved this year, and we’re just getting started.”
This year, more than 250 judges from over 50 countries took part in the Gerety Awards, bringing together some of the most respected creative leaders from different fields of advertising, marketing, production, design, and media, who showed their powerful perspective by choosing the best creative work.
