The Global Awards® competition has announced the 2014 Shortlist. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Global Awards dedication to recognizing the World’s Best Healthcare & Wellness Advertising™.
To celebrate this milestone, the competition launched the Young Globals student competition & internship program. Young Globals offers students the opportunity to earn a prestigious Global Award, and the chance to test drive their career in healthcare advertising. This hallmark anniversary reinforces the Global Award’s mission of Creative Globalization … honoring creative ideas in the field of healthcare & wellness advertising from all global regions without boundaries or restrictions. A graphic mural representing “Creative Globalization†will be unveiled at the 2014 Global Awards celebration in New York City.
“The Globals have committed to commending worldwide creative excellence with unflagging integrity,†said Chet Moss, EVP, Chief Creative Officer, ICC Lowe, USA. “If there’s deserving work, it wins.
