“The advertising industry can’t get anywhere without our friends in the TV, radio, retouching, photography houses. And their craft is what makes our work shine. The craft categories are a very important part of the Creative Circle Awards, which is why we wanted an important and significant representation from the support industries on both the committee and the juries. I’m chuffed that we have Ian on the committee as Deputy Chairman (Craft),” said Joji Jacob, chairman and jury president of the Gong 2013 Creative Circle Awards.
