Loeries Travelling Expo
The Loeries' Travelling Exhibition is making its way around southern Africa's brand communications agencies and schools, inspiring and motivating as it goes and according to Mick Blore, chief creative officer from Young & Rubicam, creativity breeds creativity. “That's why we grabbed the opportunity to host the Loeries Travelling Exhibition at our offices. In a creative environment, like the one found at Y&R, it's important to get exposure to what's happening in all the different types of media.”
After exhibiting in Johannesburg and Namibia, the expo continues to other cities in South Africa, where the winners' works will be on display at several educational institutions, corporate headquarters and the Aardklop Festival, before embarking for New York.
