Rosie Arnold to speak at AdFest in Pattaya as part of D&AD's 50th anniversary celebrations
Rosie Arnold, President of D&AD and Deputy Executive Creative Director at BBH London, will be at AdFest this year to present a speaker session titled 'D&AD: 50 Years of Inspiring Creativity'."I have always wanted to travel to Thailand so I'm really looking forward to coming to AdFest to showcase 50 years of inspiring creativity at D&AD," says Arnold. "D&AD Black Pencils are still the hardest awards to win in advertising bar none, and winning a Black Pencil represents the pinnacle of an advertising creative's career. At Adfest 2012, creative professionals from across the Asia Pacific will have the chance to feast their eyes on five decades of Black Pencil-winning work."
Arnold's presentation will address how D&AD helped her get her first job at BBH, and how it inspired and provoked her. She will showcase some of the work that she admires from D&AD's history to the present day, touching on other influences she has gleaned from living a full and hectic life.
As part of D&AD's 50th anniversary celebrations this year AdFest
will host an exhibition titled 'Five Decades of D&AD Black Pencils'
during ADFEST 2012. The exhibition will include a 'Black Pencil
Showreel' of the world's most groundbreaking TV commercials and film,
which features industry greats such as co-founder of BBH John Hegarty
(who was Grand Jury President at ADFEST 2009) and directors Ridley Scott
and Frank Budgen.
