Donald Gunn, a champion of creativity and Founder of The Gunn Report, says, “Creativity can be measured by awards. We’ve analysed the results of the most important creative award shows around the world to bring insight, commentaries and rankings – valuable data for the ever-evolving advertising industry to achieve greater heights.”
The Gunn Report 2014 guest editor is Malcolm Poynton, newly appointed Global Chief Creative Officer of Cheil Worldwide. Malcolm, who has contributed his own personal commentary on the report and awards tables as well as being involved in the selection for The Showreel of the Year, comments:
“The Gunn Report brings all the chaos and confusion of the seemingly endless award show calendar into sharp focus to give us the bigger picture of what’s hot and who’s behind it. Here you will find the best ideas made for clients that know the worth of a well-executed creative idea.”
