Torch Awards welcomes David&Goliath as 2017 Agency Sponsor

D&G, the Los Angeles-based advertising agency founded by David Angelo, is dedicated to helping challenger brands outsmart and outperform the competition and the creative agency adheres to a one-word philosophy that it lives 24/7: Brave.

This philosophy gives the agency the courage to take on any challenge that comes before it and the power to be true to who it is while inspiring its clients to do the same. Its philosophy for success will inspire the emerging young creatives entering this year’s Torch Awards.

As a member of the 2016 Torch Awards jury, Angelo was able to observe the competition behind the scenes, experience the young creatives pitch their ideas and deliberate with the jury panel in selecting the winning team. He experienced first-hand the extensive reach of the Torch Awards, the innovation of its global entrants and the impact on both the young creatives and the non-profit organisation.

This year’s challenge is the Integrated-Mixed Media Challenge. Young creatives from around the world will have the opportunity to submit their idea for the non-profit’s goal set forth in the brief.

Five finalist teams will be chosen from all the submissions received and called to New York City to pitch their campaign idea to a panel of jurors, which includes representatives from the non-profit. To help them prepare, each team is paired with a mentor selected from the New York Festivals Jury - some of the most influential leaders within the international advertising community.

The Torch Awards submission deadline is 17 February 2017. Finalist teams will be announced on 3 April. The Grand-Winning team will be announced and awarded live at the New York Show, taking place 18 May at in New York City.
