Unlock Winning Ideas At Adfest
What does it take to go from good to great? The answers to this question are the keys to progress in careers and success in business. D&AD will present the answers in its workshop, UNLOCK WINNING IDEAS, An Interactive Workshop with CEO of D&AD Jo Jackson, on Friday, 22 March at ADFEST. Jo Jackson, the first female CEO of D&AD leads the workshop that will unpack what it takes to make inspiring and impactful award-winning work. The two-part workshop will then work with attendees to put these insights into practice, to give the techniques that will drive future winning thinking.
The workshop is divided into two sections. They are:
Part 1: What does Creative Excellence look like?
This section dissects a selection of recent D&AD Pencil-winning work, with insights from the Jury as to why it won. It also gives attendees a chance to share their views. Do you agree or disagree with their choices?
Part 2: Unlocking your ideas.
This section provides tips and tricks for thinking differently and creating work that excels. It also gives attendees the opportunity to test out the methodology with a live brief and critique with peers.
