Work Club creative partner Andy Sandoz has also been announced as incoming deputy president of D&AD for the next 12 months, and will take over as president in September 2015.

Meanwhile, outgoing president Laura Jordan-Bambach will remain on the D&AD board of trustees for one final year.

The seven new creatives elected to sit on the board include:

Rosie Bardales, executive creative director and partner, BETC London

Harriet Devoy, creative director of design, marketing communications, Apple EMEA

Thomas Fitzmaurice, junior designer, Interbrand [New Blood Trustee]

Dan Germain, global head of brand and creative, Innocent

Andrew Lawrence, creative director, Elmwood

Nils Leonard, chief creative officer, Grey London

Steve Vranakis, executive creative director, Google Creative Lab

Bonner, who was awarded a D&AD New Blood Yellow Pencil as a student in 1991, commented: “As President, I’m interested in exploring the space beyond the disciplines, the ‘white space’ in-between. Creatives have always instinctively defined themselves by a category or a skill, but we’re in an era where convergence within communications is all encompassing.

“Our industry is thriving thanks to a generation of creatives and clients that collide the disciplines in order to cut through. Today, the only creative discipline that really matters is excellence.”

Any awarded member of D&AD is eligible to stand for election to the board of trustees, which is voted on by D&AD awarded and full members.

Each elected trustee serves a term of three years, with between seven-to-eight new trustees elected each year.
