Gerety Talks Futurism with Alice Crippa, creative futurist at Zeus Jones and Victoria Osayanetin Oshodin, British award-winning hybrid creative director, producer, and founder of Creative Vixstory, on Tuesday, October 25, 4:00 PM CEST.

Just like the award show, the Gerety Talks series puts some of the marketing and creative industry’s true changemakers in the spotlight and at the centre of the conversation for a refreshing take on what leadership looks like. Named for Frances Gerety, the copywriter who in 1948 coined the slogan “A diamond is forever”. The Gerety Awards brings together a jury to select the best in advertising that resonates most with a female audience, creating a benchmark that is relevant to the market reality, all while redefining the standard to which advertising has traditionally been held.
