Commenting on judging the Use of Tech category, jury member Paul Dalton, Chief Media Officer, International, DigitasLBi says: "Technology needs to be in the service of the customer. Tech for tech's sake looks impressive but if it doesn't actually benefit the customer in any way, what's the point? It needs to align well with the brand idea and the brand focus."
