Tiffany Rolfe of R/GA to Serve as the 2020 AICP Next Awards Judging Chair New York, NY Feb. 6, 2020 Matt Miller, President and CEO of AICP, announced today that Tiffany Rolfe, EVP and US Chief Creative Officer for R/GA, has been named as the 2020 AICP Next Awards Judging Chair, and as such will serve as Master of Ceremonies at the AICP Next Awards presentation this June during AICP Week in New York.
Rolfe has a long history with the Next Awards, having most recently served as the Jury President for Innovation for the 2019 Next Awards Judging work that must live up to the idea of what's Next' is always inspiring, so I was thrilled when asked to serve as Judging Chair for 2020, she said. Competitions that recognize where our industry is heading serve as im-portant guideposts for both clients and agencies, and the Next Awards, by definition, has been playing such a role since its inception. I'm looking forward to discovering trends and innovations as the Jury Presidents and I identify the standout examples of work in each category.
We're delighted to have Tiffany serve as Next Awards Judging Chair for 2020, says Miller. Her career trajectory reflects what the Next Awards are all about: she's been on the forefront of creating work that pushes boundaries and finds new ways to connect brand communica-tions with consumers. She's a creative leader whose influence, judgement and experience has benefited her clients and will benefit all who are involved with the Next Awards this year, from our juries to those who enter to those who attend our Next Awards presentations.
As EVP, US Chief Creative Officer, Rolfe lead's R/GA's creative vision across the agency's six U.S. offices. She oversees storytelling and systemic creatives that are charged with defining what's next for brands across their entire customer experience and marketing. Tiffany brings over 20 years of design and creative experience to her position. Prior to R/GA she spent over six years at Co:Collective as Partner and Chief Content Officer. There she helped develop new brands such as the Puma/Jay-Z basketball partnership. She oversaw the re-branding and ex-perience development for both MoMA and the ACLU. She also oversaw the global YouTube Stars campaign that catapulted YouTubers to fame. Before Co:Collective she spent a decade creating culture-changing work at CP+B where she was VP, Executive Creative Director and led accounts such as MINI, Truth, VW, American Express OPEN, Burger King and Old Navy.

Entrants can utilize a single entry portal to enter the Next Awards, as well as AICP's additional competitions that encompass the full spectrum of advertising and brand communication in the moving image: The AICP Show: The Art & Technique of the Commercial (which is now accepting entries globally, bringing it in line with the others shows), and the AICP Post Awards.

The Brand Excellence, Creative Data, Extended Reality and Real Time Engagement categories are new for 2020.
