Creative Circle Announces 2017 Shortlist
The runners and riders for this year's Creative Circle Awards are here...
The Creative Circle has announced the shortlist for the 2017 awards.
The shortlist represents the best of British creativity from the last 12 months. The gold, silver and bronze winners will be announced at the Creative Circle Ball, which is to be held at the Roundhouse on May 17.
Tickets for the Creative Circle Ball are available here.
Last month, joint CCO at Grey London, Vicki Maguire, the Creative Circle’s first ever female President, unveiled a new ‘angry, anarchic’ graphic identity ahead of this year’s ball.
When she was appointed last year, her mission was straightforward: to disrupt this ‘pale, male, stale’ industry and to bring in more ‘outsiders’. “In UK advertising, women make up just 30 per cent of leadership positions and less than 11 per cent of ECD roles. That’s embarrassing. How can agencies say, hand on heart, they are in touch with the consumer if they keep rolling out the same old boys? It’s absolute bollocks.”
