Co-founder and chief creative officer of The Odd Number, Sibusiso Sitole, was recently elected as the new chairperson of The Loeries

"I feel humbled and blessed to have been given the opportunity to take on the role as chairperson of the Loeries. I look forward to playing a role in recognising and celebrating the power of creativity across the region. Ultimately, it’s really about my fellow creative peers — nurturing, supporting, honouring and being a part of them realising their inherent potential and ability to compete globally," says Sitole.

Luckin says, “My two years’ tenure as Loeries chairperson seems to have flown by. It has been such a privilege to be involved with a committed, resilient and hard-working team like the Loerie Awards Company and Board. When I stepped into the role, we were in the middle of a pandemic. As I step out of it, we stand on the brink of the Loeries’ 45th anniversary. And thanks to the hard work of The Loerie Awards Company and the Board, it’s going to be an epic year.”
