Gerety Talks with Nicole Ellerton – Group Creative Director at Cossette

Cossette Group is behind the Gerety Call for entries Campaign.

Gerety Talks will sit for a conversation with Nicole Ellerton, Group Creative Director behind Cosette’s call for entries campaign for the Gerety Awards, on Tuesday, March 14th.

With more than 20 years in the business, Nicole has honed her skills and experience across multiple disciplines and industries with clients such as Ford, Air Canada, P&G, Walmart and Viagra to name a few.

After initially getting her start as a graphic designer, she switched over to Art Direction after falling in love with the intersection of craft and visual storytelling. Nicole loves how no two days in this business are exactly the same and is constantly invigorated by the talent and insightful work the industry is forging in this fast-paced world.


 

Nicole’s work has been recognized by all of the major award shows including Cannes, One Show, D&AD, Clios, LIAs, Communication Arts, ADCC and the Marketing Awards. She has been honored to lend her talent and experience to multiple judging panels such as Applied Arts, Marketing Awards and Lotus Awards. Nicole has also acted as a student mentor for the Miami Ad School

With more than 20 translations the viral campaign emphasises the power of having a different perspective. The kind of perspective the industry (quite literally) can’t get anywhere else other than the Gerety Awards jury. Cossette created a campaign that sought out to develop an idea capable of driving entries that are more diversified showcasing the value of an all-woman perspective without reinforcing old stereotypes.


 

The 2023 jury includes 190 judges from 40 different countries, open to all advertising agencies, advertisers, studios and production companies worldwide. Both national and international campaigns may compete. The only judging criteria is originality of the idea and creativity in its execution.

Named for Frances Gerety, the copywriter who in 1948 coined the slogan “A diamond is forever”. The Gerety Awards brings together a jury to select the best in advertising from a powerful perspective, creating a benchmark that is relevant to the market reality, all while redefining the standard to which advertising has traditionally been held. Analysing the work through the female lens.
