In the Creative Circle's final newsletter for the year, it announced that they'll be nurturing their relationship with official sponsor Coca-Cola, there's a new website in the works, and that you can look forward to new features such as the Champions Of Creativity initiative and the Creative Circle Better Practice toolkit.
In other changes, they're dropping the Clio Awards as an officially endorsed Creative Circle award show and adding an Integrated category to the CC award of the month. Click here for a refresher on the difference between the monthly, quarterly and annual versions of the Creative Circle Awards.
Lastly, the Creative Circle's new Exco for 2015 was announced - changes from the 2014 version include the addition of Mariana O' Kelly and Fran Luckin, as well as Jason Xenopoulos as IAB representative in place of Jarred Cinman, who has filled the role for the past two years.
