Jury

Tash has been in the creative comms industry as a writer, editor, radio presenter and marketeer for almost 20 years. Her goal in creativity – and in life – is to elevate the lesser-told stories in the world, because she believes everyone deserves to sparkle. Noted for her channel-agnostic tenacity to drive intersectional industry change, she has created award-winning work for global brands and has spent time crafting concepts and multi-channel campaigns at some of the best healthcare advertising agencies in the world. She champions inclusive advertising in all forms, and has judged global awards such as D&AD, the Outvertising Awards, the Creative Circle Awards, the Effie’s and Cannes Lions. She was Jury President for Health at Eurobest 2023, and most recently served on the inaugural 2024 Jury for D&AD Health & Wellness, and Pharma. A former Creative Equals x Campaign Future Leader One to Watch, Tash is an Executive Creative Director at Pocc, and Creative Co-Director at the LGBTQ+ advocacy group Outvertising. You may spot her running ultramarathons with Black Trail Runners, leading the walks and birdwatching with birding group Flock Together, binoculars in hand... or riding bikes with her dog Brodie on her back, which many say is the best thing they have ever seen.
