The One Club says that the Creative Hall of Fame has a rich heritage.
It has been honouring the lifetime achievements of creative luminaries in all forms of advertising and design, starting with the induction of Leo Burnett in 1961.
Other initial inductees are:
- Joe Duffy, branding and design innovator, founder and chairperson of Duffy & Partners
- Cheryl D. Miller, graphic designer, writer, artist, theologian and decolonising historian
- Nancy Vonk and Janet Kestin, former co-chief creative officers at Ogilvy Toronto and co-founders of the Swim leadership lab
- Carol H. Williams, president, CEO, chief creative officer and owner of Carol H. Williams Advertising, and
- Ron and Pippa Seichrist, co-founders of Miami Ad School.
Additional inductees will be announced shortly.
The black-tie Creative Hall of Fame induction ceremony, which is a fundraising gala to support The One Club's global DEI programmes, will take place on the evening of Thursday, 27 October at Tisch Skylights at The Shed, Hudson Yards in New York.
Inductees are nominated and voted on by The One Club board of directors. The criteria for being considered are three-fold:
- Impact — Those who have a celebrated body of work. This includes work that has been recognised as the best in the industry over multiple years for multiple brands, can be considered truly innovative and original in thinking and execution and has an undeniable lasting impact.
- Influence — Those who have used their creativity and leveraged their resources to advance the industry and serve the greater good.
- Inspiration — Those who have had a measurable, positive effect on the next generation of creative leaders, and are known industry-wide as mentors, door-openers and opportunity-creators.
"The Creative Hall of Fame is the ultimate recognition of a storied career of a visionary creative professional," says Kevin Swanepoel, CEO of The One Club.
"Hunt is an ad legend and global creative leader who has helped transform the industry, uplift underrepresented groups and continues to inspire the next generation of creative thinkers and doers," concludes Swanepoel.
