Kainaz Karmakar, the chief creative officer at Ogilvy India (west) was on the jury and shares what it felt like to be part of the Gerety Awards:

"The number one piece was Viva La Vulva. It hit my heart as a writer and as a woman."

"Very few times in life you get the opportunity to be a part of real change. Gerety Awards is more than a show. It's a statement. It's a step. The first all-women jury for an advertising show. I feel lucky I could sit in that room.

If I had to talk about the work I saw and the work that stayed with me, the number one piece was Viva La Vulva. It hit my heart as a writer and as a woman. The love in the idea and the execution, makes it rise above many other greats. When I am voting a piece for a Grand Prix, in my mind it has to be something that pushes the profession ahead. Creative people should be pulling it out as an example for their teams and clients. It is the kind of work that even competition agencies can't help admiring."
