A CELEBRATION OF DIVERSE CREATIVITY
The One Club champions the global creative community through the calendar year, but its efforts culminated with the celebration of Creative Week, which takes place every May in New York City.
By day, Creative Week featured a handful of sessions, workshops, and reviews, designed to foster discussion, reflection, and connection in the advertising and design industries. By night, Creative Week rolled out the red carpet as it recognized the very best work from the past year by way of three internationally acclaimed award shows: the lauding of “big ideas” at The One Show 2024; the celebration of design and craftsmanship at the ADC 103rd Annual Awards; a showcase of typographic perfection at the Type Directors Club’s 70 Annual Competition Exhibition; and the salute to the next generation of talent at the Young Ones Student Awards.

ADC 103
Annual Awards
Manhattan's stunning Gotham Hall was the setting for the 103rd ADC Annual Awards. For over a century, ADC has tirelessly championed the crafts of design, illustration, photography, motion, interactive, advertising and beyond.
Congratulations to all the talented creatives who took home the night's highest honors! Their remarkable work continues ADC's rich legacy of identifying and cultivating genius-level creative vision.
YOUNG ONES
Student Awards 2024
The future of the creative industry was on full display last night at Sony Hall in New York City for the 2024 Young Ones Student Awards. Advertising's youngest and brightest gathered to celebrate the best student work of the year across a variety of categories.
The energy was electric as the next generation of creative talent had their names called to take home coveted Pencils, Cubes and other honors. For these students from top colleges, grad programs and portfolio schools, winning a Young Ones award is a dream first step towards legendary careers.
The rock 'n roll vibe of the sold out Sony Hall proved to be the perfect setting as winners took the stage amid thunderous applause and cheers from their peers. While their journey is just beginning, these creatives have already proven they have the chops to make it big.
From hilarious campaigns to groundbreaking design work, the 2023 Young Ones winners represented the full spectrum of creative genius. If last night's show was any indication, the future of advertising, design and digital creativity is in incredibly capable hands.
Congratulations to all the winners! The One Club can't wait to see what amazing work you create next as you ride this momentum into the real world.
PORTFOLIO REVIEWS

On Tuesday, May 14th, two in-person review sessions were hosted at LOCATION05 in Hudson Yards, allowing up-and-coming creatives to receive invaluable feedback from top agencies and brands, make connections, and potentially land internships or jobs.

TDC 70
Winners Announced
After months of anticipation and seven decades of typographic history, the Type Directors Club is honored to unveil the TDC 70th Annual Competition winners!
Annual Competition Exhibition
The Type Directors Club celebrated a major milestone by unveiling the winners of its 70th annual competition in breathtaking fashion. A reception at Location 05 welcomed members and guests to experience the very best in type and lettering from the past year.
From bold experiments in lettering to more subtle applications of precise type design, the 70th annual winners represented the full spectrum of creativity and craftsmanship in the field. The jurors' daunting task of choosing bests from such an incredible pool of talent was evident.
The 70th annual winners exhibition will extend its reach far beyond New York, travelling to major cities around the world over the next year. This global tour will allow type enthusiasts and designers from all corners to experience and draw inspiration from the TDC's curation of the latest typographic excellence.
For the winners celebrating amongst friends and colleagues, the evening marked the culmination of countless hours of passion and hard work. Their pieces will forever be enshrined as shining examples of typographic excellence. Here's to 70 more years!
TDC LETTERING WALK
New York is one of the most fascinating cities in the world, and a casual stroll through any of its famous locales is sure to be a typographic journey, by way of its architecture and signage.
Designer, calligrapher, and historian Paul Shaw returned to lead us on one of his renowned TDC Lettering Walks. This year, we headed down the spine of Manhattan, along Broadway from City Hall all the way to the Battery! Along the way we checked out sites such as the Sun Building, St. Paul's Chapel, Trinity Church, the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, the Brooklyn/Battery Tunnel, the Cunard Building, and the Municipal Ferry Terminal. We even hopped aboard the Staten Island Ferry for lunch in the neighborhood of St. George, where a breathtaking view of Manhattan was also on the menu.
EXECUTIVE CREATIVE SUMMIT
Refreshing perspectives on creative leadership
The Executive Creative Summit made a triumphant return to New York City after a five-year hiatus, gathering decision-makers from the advertising and creative industries. The landscape has shifted dramatically with the rise of work-from-home culture, office downsizing, increasing AI adoption, a heightened focus on diversity, and the lingering effects of the global pandemic.
Amidst this era of unprecedented change and challenges, the summit provided a vital platform for support and inspiration. Creating exceptional work is an endeavor in itself, but agency founders, partners, and C-suite executives face added complexities of keeping clients satisfied, staff motivated, business growing, and operations running smoothly - a often isolating responsibility.
By convening industry leaders, the Executive Creative Summit fostered an environment of camaraderie, shared wisdom, and empowerment. As the creative world navigates uncharted territory, the summit emerged as a beacon, guiding leaders through turbulent times with renewed vigor, vision, and a profound sense of community.
MORNING BUZZ
Engaging Talks, Panels, and Presentations with Creatives
Kicking off each day with a jolt of inspiration, Morning Buzz returned to Creative Week, shining a spotlight on the phenomenal individuals and companies honored as official One Club members. Hosted by Membership Director Adam Izen, and "filmed live in front of a studio audience", this exciting speaker series provided an electrifying yet jitter-free way to feed the creative soul throughout the week. Morning Buzz celebrated the vibrancy of the global creative community while fostering insightful discussions designed to energize and motivate attendees.
WE'RE ALL MAD HERE
Chris Sojka
Co-Founder & CCO Madwell
The "mad" in "Madwell" is no accident. It's a clarion call to outsiders, misfits, and wild rotini shaped souls tired of living in a square peg world. We've always believed in bringing your whole self to work and using your whole brain, whatever that looks like. A few years ago this approach to working became known as accepting "neurodiversity," an understanding that our gray matter, our internal worlds, differ just as much as our physical bodies or external worlds. The incredible thing is that all those little differences add up to reams of creativity and heaps of business potential. If you know how to navigate them.
