Chair of Judges

Chris Dunne

Head of Marketing | Thinkbox

“I’m genuinely thrilled to be the Chair of Judges for Campaign’s 40 Over 40 Awards. I feel like my own career has gone up a notch in my 40s: more confidence, less nonsense, and a much better sense of what actually matters. These awards celebrate the brilliance that comes with experience in an industry that sometimes behaves like anything over 30 is vintage. I’m delighted to help champion the people proving that our best work, like a fine wine or a punchy Cheddar, only gets better with a little aging.”
