When we set out to find jury presidents for our Weirdos, Misfits + Underdogs awards, we knew we needed people who GET IT. People who've built agencies from scratch. Who've broken the internet. Who've made factories shut down from demand (yes, really). Who ask "what would you do if you weren't afraid?" Meet our jury presidents: Shannon J. & Yadira Harrison created VERB to prove that making things happen requires less layers, more action - turning their "we make shit happen" ethos into headline-grabbing experiences for Netflix, Airbnb, and HBO while earning Adweek Creative 100 honors and Ad Age's 2024 A-List Experiential Agency of the Year Dooley Tombras transformed a 75-year family legacy in Tombras into a modern powerhouse, helping Orangetheory Fitness exceed $1 billion in revenue, winning Subway's social media AOR, and bringing Chivas Regal to new audiences - all while earning Fast Company Most Innovative Company and Ad Age Independent Agency of the Year honors Greg Hahn co-founded Mischief @ No Fixed Address around one question: "What would you do if you weren't afraid?" His answer became the agency behind Tubi's 78% viewership increase, Tinder's 6% revenue boost, and FanDuel Casino's 63% player growth - consistently earning multiple Agency of the Year titles These are the people judging work that celebrates independence, creativity, and doing things your own way. Because sometimes the best work comes from the weirdos (misfits and underdogs). 🎯 Click the link in the bio to get yourself entered in the agency and people award for the rest of us! #AgencyLife #IndependentAgencies #CreativeLeadership #indiework #indieswork
