We are proud to announce the Jury Line-Up for the 2026 edition of the newly rebranded EACA Besties Awards (before the “EACA Best Practice Awards”).
This year marks an important new chapter for the Besties. Following a comprehensive rebranding, the awards have been refreshed to better reflect the collaborative spirit of this project. For the first time, all EACA members were invited to submit their initiatives, including National Associations (NACs), agencies, and edcom, reinforcing the Besties as an inclusive platform celebrating excellence across the entire membership.
The 2026 Jury brings together senior leaders from across Europe’s agency ecosystem:
- Christian de la Villehuchet, Global Chief Client and Integration Officer, Havas & President, EACA
- Charley Stoney, CEO, EACA
- Pascale Nader, Creative Brand Strategist & Lecturer, edcom
- Tom Mott, Membership Director and Company Secretary, IPA
- Felicia Palombo, Business Development Director, Dentsu Creative EMEA
- Stephanie Scheller, Managing Partner Sustainable Solutions EMEA, Omnicom Media
- Lisa Osokina, Account Director, Innocean
- Laure Jolibois, Head of European Membership & Industry Relations, EACA
- Petra de Roos, Chief Executive Officer, ACC
With their diverse expertise spanning agencies, associations, sustainability, education and client leadership, the jury will ensure a forward-looking evaluation process that reflects the creativity and impact of EACA’s membership in the European and global industry. The winners of the 2026 EACA Besties Awards will be unveiled and celebrated in Lisbon on 26 March during the EACA Spring Summit.
