Trevor Beattie, president of Creative Circle, said that Campaign has been at the centre of the advertising industry for more than 40 years. “We love you. We hate you. Oh alright then, we love you,” he said.
The Creative Circle Hall of Heroes, which was launched in 2008, goes to the individual or group who have made an outstanding contribution to advertising creativity. Other heroes include copywriter and blogger Dave Trott and the founder of the UK’s largest ad agency David Abbott.
Campaign’s induction took place at the Creative Circle Advertising Awards on March 1. The night’s big winner was agency M&C Saatchi, which took away nine awards – most of them for their work on Dixons.
