NYF Advertising Awards Open for Entries: Grey New York and New York Festivals Launch ‘No BS Allowed’ Campaign and Plant Seeds of Growth
New York Festivals Advertising Awards 2025 Call for Entry Campaign.
The New York Festivals Advertising Awards is now officially open for entries for the 2025 competition. Grey New York has teamed up with New York Festivals Advertising Awards to unveil a bold new creative campaign, titled “No BS Allowed,” for the show’s 2025 awards season. The campaign serves as a call for entries, challenging the advertising industry to reject superficiality and focus on creating work that truly matters. The New York Festivals Advertising Awards, known for celebrating the world’s most innovative and impactful advertising, is taking a hard stance against the industry’s reliance on inflated metrics, fabricated buzz, and empty results. In this provocative campaign, these industry conventions are reimagined as something more tangible and valuable: fertilizer for growth. Thiago Cruz, Chief Creative Officer at Grey New York. “New York is famously known for not putting up with BS, so we’re ensuring our festival stands for that too. We’re looking for work that truly drives both cultural and business value for clients.” The campaign humorously relabels case studies' so-called "BS" with sharp accuracy, exposing the elements that undermine true creativity:
- Made-up tweets
- Inflated number of impressions
- Lots and lots of positive sentiment
