LONDON – D&AD Impact seeks to identify and celebrate great, transformative, creative ideas that have had real impact and, ultimately, contribute towards a better, fairer and more sustainable future for all. Where brands use creativity for greater good…

D&AD Impact accepts any project or initiative that seeks to build a brand or business by having a positive impact on the world. Entire Business Concepts, Business Initiatives, Marketing Campaigns, Public/Community Projects and Products are all welcome.

Winning work will be rewarded a White Pencil, the premier accolade for creativity for good at the inaugural ceremony in September 2016.

This new initiative is the result of a partnership between D&AD and Advertising Week. Advertising Week draws from brands, agencies, media, technology and startup companies, in addition to broader cultural communities to curate a hybrid of thought leadership and special events worldwide.

The diverse selection of jurors – a mix of creatives, designers, marketers, C-suite executives, entrepreneurs, journalists and thought leaders – will be looking to award a D&AD Pencil based on three criteria: an original and innovative idea at its core; clear and measurable impact in its chosen category area; and relevance to the business’ commercial needs.

“Impact is ultimately the only meaningful measure of good design. As one of the leading promoters of creativity in business, D&AD is perfectly positioned to reinforce this positive message and I am delighted to help shape the conversation this year,” said Tim Brown, CEO of IDEO and author of Change By Design (Urban Living Jury President).
