I love marketing and brands, and always relish the opportunity to review the exciting campaigns. Some I instantly recognise and recall their impact at the time. For others, it will be my first chance to review their work, which I find equally exciting. As usual, this year I will be looking for innovation, but more so an ability to adapt,  standout and engage during the challenges of COVID-19.</div></div></div></div><div class="col col--16of16 margin--below--2" ><div class="list-people__item clearfix"><div class="col col--16of16 col--4of16--xsm col--3of16--sm" style="min-height: 90px"><div class="list-people__item__image" style="margin-top: 0 !important;"><img class="lazy" data-original="https://thedrum-prod.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/lists/meet-the-judges/66... alt="Laura Graham"></div></div><div class="col col--16of16 col--12of16--xsm col--5of16--sm"><div class="list-people__item__company" style="font-size: 27px !important;">Emmi UK</div><div class="list-people__item__name">Laura Graham</div><div class="list-people__item__job-title">head of marketing, global business solutions, Europe</div></div><div class="col col--16of16 col--8of16--sm"><div class="list-people__item__bio">Graham oversees Emmi's yogurt brand Onken.

We’ve had to adapt to an ever-changing world whilst staying true to our brand and business goals and maybe even bringing a smile to peoples’ faces too. I’m really looking forward to witnessing strong evidence of well thought out strategic approaches and interesting insights as to why an idea was implemented to evoke the right emotional responses from the targeted audience and how effective this was for the brand and the overall tangible results.</div></div></div></div>

Although local citations can help you rank in local search results, they are no longer a major ranking factor . However, they are still worth considering in order to promote your business.

When people speak to each other, they understand more than just words. They understand the context, non-verbal cues  (facial expressions, nuances of the voice, etc.) and so much more.
