Nitzan Yehli Alter of BUYME favored Mifal HaPais’s "The Skeptics" campaign, which portrayed the human behavior of disbelief after winning the lottery. Alter praised the campaign’s simplicity and insightfulness, strengthening trust in the brand by showing a relatable reality rather than fantasy.

Tzvia Orenstein Kassen from Azrieli Group lauded Bank Leumi’s leadership during Israel’s recent conflict by providing practical support such as hotel accommodations for elderly without protected spaces and home banking services for seniors. She distinguished this as true brand action beyond mere messaging.

Lastly, Noga Benar-Suwari of Unilever Israel applauded Kotex’s campaign addressing menstrual stigma.
