AUCKLAND, Thursday: The Comms Council has unveiled the two international judges who’ll manage the big decisions at the Axis Awards – Droga 5 New York group CD Julianna Cobb and Special Group Sydney ECD Julian Schreiber.

Both will share their visions at Axis Speaks in Auckland on Thursday 5 March (more details to come soon – watch this space).

Cobb was born in Canada and raised by a single mom, and grew up travelling through India and Nepal.


“Meet Julianna Cobb & Julian Schreiber.”

A copywriting career that began in San Francisco in 2001 taught her the power of an idea that comes through in a banner as easily as a longform film or real-life activation. It’s a skill which, since then, has led to award-winning work among a wide range of top brands, in agencies from the west coast to the east.

Schreiber has four Australian AWARD Best of Shows under his belt. He’s judged at numerous local and international shows, and in 2019 served was on the Cannes film jury.

The NZ jury chiefs are …

  • Convener: Stanley St ECD Lisa Fedyszyn
  • President: DDB ANZ regional CCO Damon Stapleton
  • President: FCB CD Leisa Wall
  • President: Colenso BBDP CD Maria Devereux
  • President: Saatchi & Saatchi CCO Toby Talbot
  • President: VMLY&R ECD Kim Pick
