THE JAY CHIAT PLANNING AWARDSCall for Entries2007

FOREWORDGreetings.Once again, it’s time for the American Association ofAdvertising Agencies Jay Chiat Planning Awards, the onlyawards program in the United States that celebrates thecontributions of Account Planning. Last year was a hugelysuccessful awards program as the number and, more importantly,the quality of entries set new standards. It’s going to be tough tobeat. In 2006, Adweek ran a multi-page feature celebrating our 20short-listed “nominees.” We love this sort of coverage and expecteven more publicity for the “nominees” in 2007.As last year, the purpose of these awards is to recognizeachievement in creative thinking in all its guises. We willcontinue to ask judges to reward thinking that fills them with envyand inspiration. We will continue to focus on thinking that feelslike the future of planning, rather than planning that feels part ofthe past. We all know that planning has exploded in terms of thedisciplines and skill sets of those who work within it, from mediato connections planning to digital strategy to CRM to datastrategy to business strategy etc. This year we hope to encouragesubmissions from the full spectrum of strategic and creativethought leaders, whether you have “planner” in your job title ornot.If everything were the same though, that would be boring and youwould be asking yourselves what the co-chairs have been doingfor the last year. The biggest new development this year is theintroduction of an “International Category” for creative thatoriginated outside of North America. Every year we get a lot ofrequests from all over the world asking if they can enter their“brilliant strategic thinking” into the AAAA Jay Chiat PlanningAwards. We think they should be able to, because this gives usthe opportunity to celebrate not only the best strategic thinking inNorth America, but the best strategic thinking throughout theworld. The assessment will, however, require some understandingof the cultural challenges and communications conventions of thespecific market. To assess this we will put together a specialjudging panel of planning directors with global responsibilitieswho will decide which international papers are worthy of shortlisting. This makes the AAAA Jay Chiat Planning Awards a trulyglobal award scheme.We hope to be inspired by the diversity of submissions this yearand look forward to building on the success of previous years.The Jay Chiat Planning Awards program will further establishitself as the opportunity to celebrate the best thinking anywhere inthe world as it drives home the 2007 Account PlanningConference theme of “Creating Possibilities: Planning to Extendthe Boundaries of Creativity.”Good Luck,William Charnock & Murray HardieCo-Chairs, 2007 Jay Chiat Planning Awards2007 Jay Chiat Planning Awards/- 2 -

Don’t assume everyjudge will understand the status quo in your category.4. Make sure planning’s impact on the outcome is visible.The best cases demonstrate a result that clearly wouldnot have occurred had it not been for planning.5.
