The IPA is celebrating 11 outstanding individuals for their instrumental work in accelerating the success of the advertising agency business in its annual Summer Honours List.
Representing some of adland’s best and brightest, each will be rewarded with an IPA fellowship or honorary fellowship for their outstanding careers and for having driven the industry forward across everything from effectiveness and media to talent and diversity.
“One of the best parts of my role is being able to recognise and celebrate those who have worked tirelessly to help make the IPA, and what we do, the best it can possibly be for the benefit of our members, the agency business and the wider industry,” said director general Paul Bainsfair.
“Across their various areas of expertise, those on this year’s list have epitomised that drive, consistently pushing us to bigger and better things. Each of them has given a huge amount of time and energy to IPA initiatives over the years, and I want to thank them for their remarkable contributions and congratulate them on their well-deserved fellowships.”
