After a successful move to The Old Truman Brewery in 2015, this year ‘Judging Week’ becomes the D&AD Festival where it claims it will bring ‘the worlds of advertising and design together over eight days to celebrate the best in global creativity’.
Tim Lindsay, D&AD CEO commented, “We didn’t want to call it a “festival” without delivering exactly what people would expect, an event that buzzes with creative energy. This isn’t just a chance to meet the makers of some of your favourite creative work, it’s a forum to listen to what they have to say about our industry and be inspired. None of this would be possible without the participation of our dedicated jurors, they are the ones who bring the D&AD awards to life.”
