Lucia Ongay

Lucia Ongay is a born journalist, passionate and curious about anything that makes the world a better place.

Lucia joined Joe Brooks, also the Co-Founder of the Gerety Awards, aiming to help redefine the standard to which advertising is held.

Named after Frances Gerety, the copywriter who coined the slogan “A diamond is forever”, the awards mark the first time that juries have been brought together to select the best in advertising – all advertising, not just advertising made for women – through the female lens and from a powerful perspective.

Over the last 25 years, she has gained international experience working in South America and Europe in the press and creative industries. Lucia has taken her expertise to prestigious organizations like UNESCO, Thomson Reuters, and Roland Garros.
