Kyoorius Group today announced it has formed a partnership with The One Club for Creativity, the leading global non-profit organisation behind The One Show, ADC Annual Awards and other programming, to serve as the club’s official representative in India.
Under the agreement, The One Club will also contribute to the composition of the jury for all future editions of Kyoorius Creative Awards (http://awards.kyoorius.com), as well as provide the club’s high-integrity judging process and proprietary back-end voting technology platform.
The One Club for Creativity (https://www.oneclub.org) is the world’s foremost non-profit organisation recognizing creative excellence in advertising and design. In this new partnership, Kyoorius Group (http://kyoorius.com) will work closely with agencies, media and the entire creative community in India to support and promote the club’s awards programmes including The One Show, ADC Annual Awards, Creative Week, Young Guns, Young Ones student awards, One Screen Short Film Festival, Creative Hall of Fame and others.
In addition to these awards and recognition initiatives, The One Club for Creativity also gives back to the creative community through nearly 20 programmes throughout the year representing its four pillars: Education, Inclusion & Diversity, Professional Development and Gender Equality. Programming includes Creative Boot Camps and Portfolio Nights for young creatives, Creative Leaders Retreats for senior creatives, Executive Creative Summits for agency founders/CCO/managing partners and more. Kyoorius will work with agencies throughout India to sponsor local versions of these and other One Club programming starting in 2018.
“India is a very important market for the global advertising industry, and for The One Club in particular,” said Kevin Swanepoel, CEO, The One Club for Creativity. “There is tremendous work coming from agencies here, and we look forward to working with the Kyoorius team to help recognize and promote the country’s creative community.”
