D&AD ditching writing is like the oscars ditching best screenplay. It’s central to so much good work. And a lot of what we do
@uncommon_LDN
Advertising copy is often seen as a dying art; with D&AD even binning its Writing for Advertising award this year. Yet, as Brooklyn-based ad creative Malia Bence points out, in reality it is more vital to brands than ever

This.
Make the ads you wish you could watch. Make the posters you wish you could steal. Make the brands you wish existed. Make the industry you wish you worked in. Commentary is for passengers.
I get so depressed when I see shitty think pieces attacking entertaining advertising and saying we have to return to selling as if you can’t have one without the other. Maybe spend the time it takes writing the article to focus on your own house.

This is cultural suicide. Our art, design, culture and creativity are the UK’s last truly powerful exports.

No act of genuinely ambitious creativity happens without equally ambitious people that form the partnerships and create the conditions any great idea needs to become reality.

When was the last time you sent someone a ten year old pdf?
The Book. It didn’t matter if you read it. The book was a poster for D&AD’s values. It’s shopfront. A way for the brand to live on. Did it need to change? Yes. Did it need to die? No.
Like many of you, we're sad to see the printed D&AD Annual go, but we're also excited by the depth & dynamism of what's to come. Here,

How many times have we felt this, voiced it, but never really admitted what was true? An idea is yours briefly. This is why conviction, energy and production are as important as creativity. You either did something, or someone else did.
