Jury

James accidentally stumbled into advertising while acting in very bad Japanese commercials while living in Tokyo. He parlayed this “experience” into a 20-year award winning career at agencies like Mad Dogs & Englishmen, Venables Bell & Partners, 215 McCann and the Martin Agency. As the ECD of Momentum NY, he is responsible for all creative output for Verizon, American Express, Walmart, SAP, and more. He lives in New Jersey with his wife (also an award winning creative), 2 daughters, a 110 LB dog and very little free time. He’s happiest writing about anything but himself.
