“This new jury consists of esteemed creative professionals from around the world who specialise in this unique field where work often needs to pass both creative and regulatory muster,” stated Kevin Swanepoel, chief executive officer, The One Club for Creativity.
“Health, wellness and pharma continue to be fast-growing segments with their own unique regulatory challenges, and the creative work deserves to be judged by a separate dedicated jury of advertising experts.”
“Soon after launching One Show Rx in 2000 as the ad industry’s first awards show for pharma, we recognised that much of the work was not yet up to One Show Pencil standards and rolled the discipline back into the overall One Show four years later,” Swanepoel added.
“Today, health wellness and pharma deserve to be a separate discipline due to the elevated quality of the work.”
The One Show judging takes place in March 2018. Finalists will be announced in April. The One Show awards ceremonies will be held on May 9 and 11, during Creative Week in New York.
