D&AD names Havas Work Club's Andy Sandoz as new president
Trade body for the creative advertising and design industries D&AD has appointed Andy Sandoz, creative partner at Havas Work Club as its 2015-16 president.
Sandoz will head up the non-profit organisation alongside a board of Trustees which includes newly elected deputy president Bruce Duckworth, principal at Turner Duckworth, Nicky Bullard, creative director at LIDA, New Blood trustee Hamish Gardner and Caitlyn Ryan, former group executive creative director at Karmarama.
Passionate about how technology can shape the future, Sandoz predicts that the next 20 years will be a "golden age" in which the industry will conceive and deliver a new world "with good reason".
"Right now this one we have really needs us. We have to design a new way to live on earth, create new ways to live with each other and work out how we are going to live with technology," he continued.
“Understanding how science and technology works makes you think about what is possible. Asking yourself ‘can this work?’. It makes you experiment, and to me that is the essence of creativity. To every
day explore what is possible.”
Sandoz replaces outgoing president Mark Bonner.
