What a night! Celebrating the best creative work in the 2015 Annual at one of the coolest agency offices in London could not have gone better. It was great to see the interactions and connections built on Creativepool translate from digital to the real world.
The Format?
The work submitted for the 2015 Annual was judged by a panel of industry experts, who hand-picked the most outstanding projects from each of the 14 categories. 188 shortlisted projects were analysed by the panel, with 70 of these winning a proud place in the final publication. Out of this, 14 of the most appreciated projects on Creativepool were selected as People’s Choice winners.
Who Came?
The private Launch Party was attended by the all shortlisted individuals and companies such as JKR, Kode Media, Imagination and Framestore. The judging panel, meanwhile, included such esteemed names as Robbie Dale, Creative Director at 1000Heads, Louis Sloper, Head of Design at Chi & Partners, Alastair Hutchison, Creative Director at TMW and Anthony Gibbs, Creative Director at Framestore and Glenn Taylor, Creative Director and CEO at Stocks Taylor Benson. They were joined at the party by various friends and associates from the press, who eagerly anticipated the release of this year’s Annual.
The host of the evening was the eclectic gallery space of Mother London, set a great backdrop for showcasing the shortlisted work, with an open bar, and a reel of entered videos running in the background, it was all tied together with a relaxed soundtrack. Everything built up to the reveal of the 2015 Annual, which also announced the release of 1,000 Limited Edition Hardcover copies printed by Ambrose Press on a beautiful Fedrigoni stock, which everyone in the room could not wait to get their hands on.
If you are attending Cannes Lions this year, you can expect to receive copy as it is due to appear in 12,000 goody bags. If you would like to request a copy for a feature or to simply have on your coffee table please send an email to: [email protected].
A BIG congratulations to the shortlist and winners this year. Also we would like to say Thank You to all our sponsors, and especially our host Mother London. Stay tuned for submissions opening early October 2015, and we can't wait to see what amazing work will come out of the next year.
