MPA managing director Cindy Simmons said: "It was our aim in 2013 to create a ceremony that would capture the best work in the region and allow us to really showcase the exceptional talent from across the entire media, digital and creative landscape.
"For the fourth year running, we’ll be working with our event partner Caroline Moran of Clear Presentations whose skills really bring the awards to life and are a vital part of the MPA team."
The MPA is a not-for-profit organisation and represents over 2,500 members.
Mr Seddon added: "I’m proud and honoured to chair the judges of the MPA Inspiration Awards for 2022.
"The awards celebrate the very best creative output from a city which grows in terms of innovation and creativity each year, despite the challenges thrown at us.
"I look forward to working with the panel of judges to help identify the best and most creative work and recognise the talented people who have worked so hard to achieve it."
Christan James, managing director of The if agency and chair of the MPA, said: "In spite of extremely challenging conditions, these past 12 months have shown once again the vision, passion and creativity of Manchester agencies – with world class work pouring out from every sector.
"The MPA Awards is a unique platform to showcase the best original and innovative work coming out of this city and I’m delighted we have someone of the calibre of Steven to lead the judging team this year."
