Whether as vehicle for social change, enriching quality of life or finding the means to do well by doing good, we’ve seen some truly impressive innovation from across the advertising and design industries in recent years as boundaries are pushed and limits tested.
“After a remarkable 2014, we’re all looking forward to seeing what 2015 brings in the field of creative excellence.”
