Is advertising creativity in decline? Top creative brains debate the issues at a one-day conference.
Has SA cooled off? Why can't we win TV advertising awards at Cannes? Should we care? Are awards a waste of time anyway? Should we ignore international awards festivals and concentrate on local ones? Is empowerment an obstacle to creative excellence? What can we do to restore South Africa's creative reputation?
We've assembled SA's top creative luminaries and most inspiring clients, people with international reputations, to discuss these questions. Brace yourself for a day of stimulating discussion and come prepared to participate.
The speakers are a mixture of creative genius and marketing shrewdness. Talks will be liberally illustrated with examples of the best work locally and internationally, with explanations given for their relevance.

Matthew Bull, chief creative officer, Lowe Worldwide
Robert Brozin, founder, Nando's
