SCA’s Matt Dickson to represent local industry in Cannes

Head of creativity for SCA’s The Studio – Matt Dickson – will represent the Australian radio industry at the 64th Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity on the radio jury panel.

Dickson will join his fellow jurors at the annual week-long global event from 17 to 24 June.

“The fact that people still find ways to innovate on one of the world’s oldest mediums is something I find really exciting and inspiring,” Dickson said of his selection to the panel.

“Radio has always been my passion, as the tight constraints of 30 or 60 seconds of audio seem to yield endless creative possibilities.”

His work at SCA’s client creative services unit has been awarded both nationally and internationally on many prior occasions. He has won Gold, Silver and Bronze at the Siren Awards, has four ACRAS to his name, and has been recognised at the London International Awards, New York Festivals and The One Show.

SCA’s chief sales officer Brian Gallagher said, “We are very proud to have Matt selected to represent Australia on the Cannes Lions jury panel. This appointment recognises SCA’s depth of creative ability and reinforces SCA’s broader strategy of delivering great outcomes for clients with strong, insight led ideation.”
