Back to school season is in full swing, and we are looking at you high school seniors. If you’ve been dreaming about a creative career in advertising or design, you better sharpen those pencils and get your notebooks ready. The One Club for Creativity celebrates the global advertising, design, and creative communities. And every spring, we host Creative Week– a week of gorgeous galas to honor and award the best work in advertising and design. This year we bragged nonstop about the winning work at The One Show, The ADC 103rd Annual Awards, and The Young Ones 2024 Student Awards. Last summer we published The Top Ten Advertising & Design Schools of 2023 with the goal of highlighting all the elements that make those top ten schools so amazing. We did this by interviewing educators and students from each school, and it was a hit, so a round of applause please, for The Top Ten Advertising and Design Schools of 2024.

Sometimes genius is just a few extra letters. The One Show Gold Pencil winner in Social Media from Ogilvy for "Michael CeraVe" is a testament to that. “Normally, I don't get approached for things like [CeraVe] because a big part of it is putting things out on social media,” said Michael Cera (on Fallon). But this time, we rewrote the Super Bowl playbook with a first-of-its-kind, social-first campaign for CeraVe skincare, making its debut at the big game. Our goal was clear: everyone should know that CeraVe is developed with dermatologists. The challenge? The Super Bowl is a star-studded event, and dermatologists aren't exactly celebrities. Our solution? We turned a social listening insight into a conspiracy theory—CeraVe was developed by Michael Cera. But there was a twist: Michael Cera isn’t on social media. So, how could we spark an online frenzy without our star?
