We are thrilled to announce that our founder and creative director , Louise Everarts de Velp, has been selected as an official judge for the 2025 Netty Awards—a NYC based program that honors excellence across digital marketing, design, technology, and more.​

The Netty Awards are known for recognizing top leaders and companies in the digital age, celebrating achievements in various industries. Judges are chosen for their expertise and contributions to their respective fields, and Louise's inclusion on the panel is a testament to her impact in branding and web design.​

As part of the judging panel, Louise will evaluate submissions based on innovation, measurable impact, creativity, and overall excellence. Here is how Netty describes the judging process:
Entries are evaluated through a standardized scoring system, combining expert evaluations and AI-assisted analysis to ensure fairness and accuracy. Submissions are typically judged based on four key factors: Innovation and Differentiation, which examines originality and standout elements that push industry boundaries; Measurable Impact and Success, which looks at quantifiable results, including engagement metrics, audience reach, and industry influence; Creative Elements and Execution, which evaluates storytelling, design, and problem-solving approaches that contribute to the project's success; and Overall Excellence and Industry Advancement, which assesses how a submission elevates industry standards and showcases significant achievements.”
