Ad Age
Young Creatives Cover Contest
Each year, Ad Age hosts a challenging cover contest for creatives under 30. We are given a mind melter of a brief to solve and it’s a super fun creative exercise, despite all the headaches along
the way. I’m always up for a good challenge, so here are my team’s entries for 2020 and 2021.
For 2020, the industry (the whole world, for that matter) has been upended by the pandemic and social unrest. Illustrate how creativity
has helped to fuel us through the chaos. Create a cover that celebrates how creativity continues to shine and empower in what feels like one
of our darkest moments.
For 2021, we want you to imagine what Ad Age’s cover will look like
10 years from now. What will be captivating advertisers and marketers’ attention in a decade, what will the agency of the future look like,
what will be the biggest trend in marketing, what will be advertising’s
most difficult challenge?
