Katriona Fraser,
Managing Partner & Head of Creative Talent, The Talent Business.
The Talent Business are partnering with Ogilvy & Mather this year who will showcase the winners in a Private View. Some of the biggest iconic names and agencies in the industry judge the work entered but only twenty will be winners. This year’s judges include: David Kolbusz (Droga5 London), Iain Tait (W+K London), Carlo Cavallone (72andSunny Amsterdam) and Jamie Robinson (Joan New York).
Cream 2016 will be more ‘in your face’, says Ogilvy CCO, Mick Mahoney:
Everyone at Ogilvy is really looking forward to hosting Cream 2016 at our new home in Sea Containers. But I’m equally excited that we’re introducing a bold, fresh new format with this year’s Cream winners presenting their work live in front of ECDs. It gives the young creative teams a one-off opportunity to showcase their work and personality while hitting London’s top creative directors full in the face with their talent. We have a fantastic new home and we wanted this year’s Cream to have an exciting format.
