We’ve teamed up with D&AD this year for the New Shift Scheme that promotes diversity in our industry by educating creative individuals from underprivileged backgrounds on all areas of the advertising industry and helping them with work placements. Our London session was led by Creative Director Kevin Young and focused on innovation and what that means to Kevin personally.
