Steve Jackson, cofounder of Milk+Honey United in Sydney, has been appointed to represent Australia on the International Board of Directors of The One Club for Creativity, the world’s foremost nonprofit organisation whose mission is to support the global creative community.
Board members are drawn from countries with the largest advertising communities, and selected based on three criteria: they must be prominent international creatives, be respected leaders in their given fields, and exert influence in their respective regions.
As a member of the International Board, Jackson will provide input and feedback on the club’s ongoing global programming, help elevate The One Show and ADC Annual Awards in rankings in Australia, connect the club with advertising and design universities and schools, and recommend outstanding candidates to serve as awards judges.
“One reason The One Club is so prestigious is because of its exceptional Board, an impressive group of the most prominent professionals in our field,” said Kevin Swanepoel, CEO. “Steve is a renowned global creative leader who will play a key role in furthering our mission to support and elevate the global creative community, and solidify the relevance of our mission in Australia.”
The new International Board members will work closely with The One Club’s National Board, lead by chairman Glenn Cole, cofounder, creative chairman at 72andSunny, Los Angeles, and vice chair Pum Lefebure, cofounder, CCO at Design Army, Washington DC, to serve as ambassadors for and advisors to the non-profit organization.
