The London International Awards has unveiled the winners and finalists for Transformative Business Impact and Creative Use of Data.
After days of spirited debate led by jury president Adam Ferrier, chief thinker at Thinkerbell, the Transformative Business Impact and Creative Use of Data jury awarded 35 statues in Transformative Business Impact and 18 statues in Creative Use of Data.
The Transformative Business Impact category celebrates creativity that plays an enduring role in transforming a business, including their operations, services, products, internal experiences, and customer experiences. The jury awarded a Grand LIA, 11 Gold, 12 Silver, 11 Bronze Statues and four Finalists. Draftline, Shanghai won the Grand LIA this year, for their work created for Corona titled “Corona Extra Lime”.
The Creative Use of Data recognizes work that demonstrates the fundamental role of data in inspiring, powering and enhancing creativity. This year, the Grand LIA has been awarded to McCann New York for “Where To Settle”, which was created for Mastercard. They also awarded seven Gold, eight Silver and two Bronze Statues; five entries attained finalist status.
Ferrier shared, “What was interesting about the Grand LIA winners is that they were for big brands that use the infrastructure of their brands to have a massive impact with various communities.”
“In complex categories such as Transformative Business Impact and Creative Use of Data, the value of no pre-judging and the jury members seeing all the work becomes even more apparent and the metal awarded reflects this,” stated Terry Savage, LIA chairperson.
All rounds of judging were done onsite in Las Vegas over nine days. The judging process has no pre-judging. Each juror sees every piece of work in their respective categories. Each jury, along with their president, convened in their judging room to discuss and debate the work thoroughly before deciding on the winners. This ensures that all work is judged equally through careful deliberations and robust discussions.

The American Film Institute (AFI) has announced that Heretic, the psychological thriller starring Hugh Grant, and Maria, based on the life of opera singer Maria Callas starring Angelina Jolie, will round out the Red Carpet Premieres section at this year’s AFI Fest. The Heretic Gala Screening will take place on Thursday, October 24, and the Maria Gala Screening will be held on Saturday, October 26.

Heretic follows two young missionaries (Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East) who are forced to prove their faith when they knock on the wrong door and are greeted by a diabolical Mr. Reed (portrayed by Grant), becoming ensnared in his deadly game of cat-and-mouse. The film is directed by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods and produced by Stacey Sher, Beck, Woods, Julia Glausi and Jeanette Volturno. The film will be released nationwide by A24 on November 8.
