Young Glory World Champion 2017
8 months. 8 briefs. 8 big name judges.
Young Glory is the only worldwide creativity competition devoted to awarding creative consistency. Over eight months from September 2016 to April 2017, Tom and I racked our brains and sacrificed our social lives to come up with ideas that ultimately won us the whole competition.
Apart from the glory, the prize was a trip to C2 Montreal where we presented one of our ideas on stage. Winning Young Glory was an incredible experience and really cemented for me the power our industry has to solve large, complicated real world problems.
Some of our winning ideas are below. For the full range of our thinking check out tomandemma.website.
