<p><span style="color: #666;">Jay Chiat Awards&nbsp;are global strategy awards that recognize the best strategic thinking in marketing and advertising around the world. Awards will be presented this October at the "Strategy &amp;" Conference (<em>see below for details</em>).</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #666;">Since the inception of the Awards more than 10 years ago, the advertising business has changed a lot.&nbsp; Agencies are not just developing paid media campaigns&mdash;owned and earned channels are a critical part of the mix, as&nbsp;is the&nbsp;development of new products, services and technologies.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #666;">As a result, the role of account planning and strategy is far more complex than it used to be.&nbsp; Many strategic competencies are required to craft, understand, measure and optimize an idea in the modern world.&nbsp; User experience, media, analytics and creative technology are but a few.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #666;">To reflect this, we have made some major updates to the 2013 awards program by reducing the number of categories and making them broader to take into account the fact that most of today&rsquo;s successful strategies are multi-disciplinary and must work across multiple touch points if not geographies.</span></p>
