The Jury / Jury member
Benjamin Anyan.
Group Creative & Strategy Director, Publicis West Africa · Ghana
Bio
Benjamin Anyan is Group Creative & Strategy Director at Publicis West Africa, shaping brands
that reach 650 million people across 25 countries and leading more than $500M in regional and
local portfolios.
Ben believes Africa is not an emerging creative market. It is a misunderstood and under-
leveraged one. His work explores what happens when we stop treating African culture as
inspiration and start treating it as creative advantage—turning its richness, contradictions and
ingenuity into ideas that shape culture and drive business anywhere in the world.
He has served on juries including Cannes Lions, The One Show, Loeries and Pitcher, giving
him a front-row seat to what makes an idea work—and why some ideas travel while most don't.
Ben believes strategic creativity is a business multiplier and is particularly drawn to work that
turns cultural insight into something people can't ignore.
Based in Accra, Ghana, his ambition is simple: to make African creativity not just more
visible to the world, but impossible to ignore.
