Kiwi creative Josep Jover is one of nine Australasian young professionals travelling to Las Vegas to join the London International Awards 2024 Creative LIAisons Global Coaching Academy cohort.
Jover is Senior Art Director, DDB Group Aotearoa, Auckland and travels to the US for the Creative LIAisons program on September 30 through October 4.
The Academy cohort is made up of 125 young professionals from 29 countries with diverse cultures, skill sets and perspectives.
As part of their stay in Las Vegas, they will experience a creative makeover as top industry leaders from around the world will hone their skills, push them further in their thinking and out of their comfort zones.
Matty Burton, Group Chief Creative Officer, DDB New Zealand, Auckland and Creative LIAisons coach, says, “I’ve been part of the LIAisons Coaching Academy for a number of years now and I have met some wonderful talent from all over the world.
“There is nothing else like it and it is important for the growth of our industry at large. Plus helping people to come to their own conclusions, realize things they already knew, but didn’t quite ask the right question to get the answer they needed, is something I get a great big kick out of. I’ll keep putting my hand up for this for as long as it continues, which I hope is for a very long time.”
Creative LIAisons Director/Events Director Laurissa Levy adds, “We are always keen to welcome hungry, eager young creatives who want to move their skill set not just up to speed, but beyond that. We see Creative LIAisons as the autobahn of creative leadership training and learning – it lets young talent go full throttle in accelerating their creative careers. There is no speed limit. For those who make full use of the opportunity presented, it is the fast lane to open doors and greater connections.”
This year, the intensive 5-day program will encompass several speaker panels and an enviable line-up of top speakers including Tara McKenty, Anthony Dever and Adam Ferrier. There will also be a ‘Create and Make’ workshop; attendees will experience the hands-on creative challenge of receiving a brief, ideating, creating and then pitching to a jury. And for the first time, there will be a special off-site, real-time experiential learning exercise to further stretch the minds of the attendees.
The program culminates with the opportunity to sit in the judging rooms – Attendees can see and hear for themselves how the top people in the business review and reward creativity, ingenuity and bravery.
