We’re super proud to introduce one of our reviewers, John Scott, creative director at Ward6.
John’s career began in fashion & editorial design. Branching out, he moved to the creative design & editorial studio – Deluxe & Associates. There he developed a strong sense for graphic design, editorial design and creative communication under the watchful eye of James deVries and co.
With a solid design foundation established, he then freelanced in various design and advertising agencies in the Asia Pacific region until eventually finding a new home in Advertising at Ward6 in Singapore. Working with Grant and Hugh, he developed a strong sense of conceptual thinking and art directing.
John then joined McCann Health working with Sean Riley and co. There he built a strong portfolio of film, digital and integrated ideas working on regional brands and accounts across the APAC region.
While working in advertising and polishing his craft, John learnt from many great people who have contributed to the well rounded creative he is today. 13+ years on, he has made many friends across many countries.
John’s strong interest in photography and film has motivated him to make a special detour between other commitments to join our team of reviewers at CA+ on Saturday 28th July.
We’re really looking forward to having him on our team 🙂
It’s no surprise to hear that our Co-Chair Christina Force will be speaking at CA+ this year. She just can help helping photographers.
Christina built a huge following in Singapore, Hong Kong and China when she touted her photographers’ folios across the region over the course of 15 years when she owned The Collective Force. Since selling her photographers agency (which is still prominent in the region), she has consulted to photographers around the world and helped them crack the Asian market. She’s also consulted to photographers based in Asia and Asia based creatives who want to become photographers.
Christina has been flown around New Zealand, Australia, and Asia by various photographic associations to speak to groups ranging from 12 to 350 photographers. She’s taught a class at the New York Academy of Film, and her programmes are sought after and now have a high benchmark, you’ll be glad to know you’ll get your registration fee’s value back with this one keynote.
Christina will be talking about ways to get noticed in Asia, and how to build relationships with those decision makers you’ve just connected with.
More Sunday Sessions will be updated soon!
If you’re not from Singapore we want to make sure that the experience you gain from coming to CA+ is fully immersive and you leave with a much deeper knowledge of working in Singapore, as well as meeting with clients there.
That’s why we’ve arranged the 2 day CA+ event this July to be held at one of Asia’s longest established production houses. The Shooting Gallery, Singapore has a couple of great studios and meeting areas and you’ll be able to hang out in comfort or take a tour between reviews and talks. You’ll find more info here
We are thrilled to announce that Creative Asia Plus, 2015, will be taking place on November 14th and 15th in the rich cultural melting pot of Singapore. What’s extra special about this year’s date is that it follows right on the back of Diwali – the Hindu festival of light. We thought that was rather appropriate for a celebration of photography.
So book the whole week (or more), spend some time exploring Little India as it lights up for the festivities on 10th November, and join us on 14th and 15th November as we gather together an even bigger line-up of top creatives to view your work and connect with you.
Registrations for the event open soon, but in the meantime you can Email us with any questions at connect@creativeasiaplus.com.
