Motivated by the standard and what will come in the future, as a result in challenging our industry to achieve more. But I was so refreshed by the creatives who joined us for ‘Creative Conversations’. Healthy debate, strong opinions, passion and conviction from our future leaders, simply made me realize how privileged we are to work in this industry.
