LIA Creative LIAisons welcomes 360 mentees, including 81 of Asia’s brightest, rising talents

LAS VEGAS, USA – The Creative LIAisons, fully funded by the London International Award (LIA), is one of the industry’s most comprehensive training grounds for rising talent. Since 2012, it has brought together more than 300 young creatives each year for onsite and virtual sessions led by some of the world’s most awarded industry leaders — a proven launchpad for the next generation.

“We talk about burn-out. For a lot of people their answer to burn-out is time off. This is an answer to burn-out. Go, get better at your job, take yourself to the next level, be around people who will inspire you, make connections. Creative LIAisons is the kind of program that can help solve burn-out,” said Susan Credle, Global Creative Advisor, IPG and Former Global Chair / CCO, FCB, and one of this year’s speakers.

Creative LIAsons on-ground program

Running alongside the annual LIA judging in Las Vegas, 125 emerging creatives join a five-day, all-access learning experience of jury room sessions, seminars, panels, and workshops. Funded entirely by festival entry fees, the program is free, with flights and accommodation covered.

Creative LIAsons virtual program

To reach even more talent, the virtual track pairs each participant with three global mentors for one-on-one coaching. There’s no set format — mentors and mentees shape each session — and participants can build their own wish list from a roster of top creative leaders.

This year, 360 creatives have been selected for the Creative LIAisons program, including 81 from Asia, seven of which are from the Philippines.
