A year ago, this forecast of upcoming events became irrelevant, almost overnight. However, since then, we have all adapted - and now, a sense of rejuvenation is on the rise. Compared with pre-COVID life, we may go less often, stay closer to home, and spend more time phoning it in… but new days are growing heavy with promise. Even in our reshuffled order, learning opportunities beckon, inviting us to build and fortify relationships, challenge ourselves, contribute, and put ourselves on the map.
From all appearances, the longed-for better times are shaping up in this month's global creative calendar, put together for us by The Darnell Works Agency, the go-to PR firm for creative agencies, brands and entertainment ventures.
