Creativity in Focus: The Drum kicks off month-long celebration of commercial creativity

Most exciting for many of us will be the unveiling of The World’s Best Ads of All Time. For weeks now, The Drum has been polling our readers to get their thoughts on the best ads ever. Those nominations are currently with a judging panel made up of today’s ad industry’s finest (as recognized by The Drum’s World Creative Rankings), who are busy ranking and rearranging the list to leave us with a definitive top 100.

Throughout the month, we are also catching up with advertising legends from all over the world to quiz them on what makes a great ad, while you can also expect an abundance of additions to our Anatomy of an Ad series. Plus, all of the creative content we usually reserve just for subscribers will be free to all readers for the full 30 days, including World Creative Rankings and our global archive Creative Works.

A packed program of live events await as part of our Cannes-Do Festival, which runs at The Drum Labs in London, at Cannes Lions itself and on thedrum.com. Expect live sessions, parties, a rolling news channel, our very own roof terrace and much more as we celebrate the world’s best commercial creative work and the people who make it.
