Claire Beale, editor-in-chief of Campaign, said: "It’s brilliant to see such an array of brands from all the major sectors demonstrating such an innovative mindset in their strategy, creative and execution. The Marketing New Thinking Awards are about celebrating those brands and agencies that are setting the agenda for the future, and this shortlist reflects exactly that."
