The One Club for Creativity and The 3% Movement have announced their list of the talented women in the ad industry which they consider to be legends in the making, the Next Creative Leaders 2017. The winners were presented at the kick-off of the 3% Conference in New York.
“The One Club for Creativity has a long-standing commitment to providing programming that helps solve the industry’s diversity problem as opposed to just talking about it,” said Kevin Swanepoel, chief executive officer, The One Club, and added: “We created our own Inclusion & Diversity Department nearly a decade ago, and support programs like Next Creative Leaders that identify, elevate and give voice to those who are making a real difference. They are the ones who are opening the door and inspiring the next generation of women who follow in their footsteps.”
It should be noted that Among the winners, Goodby Silverstein & Partners stands out as they are represented with three legends in the making. The list is dominated by the candidates from the US, but it also includes six winners who originally come from other countries.
The Next Creative Leaders for 2017 are:
- Kate Baynham, copywriter, Goodby Silverstein & Partners, San Francisco
- Sakshi Choudhary, creative supervisor, Ogilvy & Mather, Mumbai, India

To make the Next Creative Leaders program as open and accessible as possible, there is no cost for nominating a candidate. Nominees were judged on four-to-six pieces of creative work, their background and information about how they, and their work, are pushing the industry forward and making a positive contribution in terms of diversity, mentoring and advocacy.
Winners were selected by a jury of 29 top creatives, including past Next Creative Leaders winners.
