The winners will receive the prestigious Global Award trophies at the 2016 Global Awards ceremony, taking place on Thursday, 17 November at New York Academy of Sciences in New York City. They will also receive a paid internship with Global Awards partner sponsors, McCann Health and Ogilvy CommonHealth Worldwide for minimum of one month, based on their availability.
The entries were inspired by a creative brief that posed the challenge, “How do we make health second nature in our lives? Young Globals sponsoring agencies’ international award-winning healthcare advertising chief creative officers Jeremy Perrott, global chief creative officer, McCann Health and Scott Watson, chief creative officer of Ogilvy CommonHealth Worldwide, interviewed students about their campaign.
“The Young Globals Award was designed to find the future impact makers, interrogators of truth and information the creative leaders who will ensure our industry is known for future thinking solution mavericks,” said Perrott.
“I was moved by these students. They are our future and the Young Globals/Global Awards is helping us to bring their great talents to the forefront,” said Watson, “11,079.5 miles might separate them and they each have their own culture, but one thing strongly resides within each one of them…creativity.”
“It is my privilege to be part of Globals Health ambition to challenge, inspire, support and encourage the young talent from around the world to not only enter this award,” added Perrott, “but to become part of the most innovative and creatively dynamic business in communications.”
“Each group of students had their own way of interpreting the brief and in turn created exceptionally smart and creative ideas. Jeremy and I feel that our future in healthcare and advertising in general looks very promising. We should celebrate where this new wave of talent is headed and look to hire them as quickly as possible,” said Watson.
“From the process of receiving entries from around the world and considering their solutions, we arrived at our final winners, not only knowing the creative level was high, but realising as an industry we have some exceptional talent who will produce amazing things for others to rise up to. Congratulations to the winners. Well done to all,” concluded Perrott.
