GLOBAL, SEPTEMBER 19, 2012 – David Droga joins Walt Disney, Anne Leibovitz and Andy Warhol among others as permanent residents at the Art Directors Club’s prestigious Hall of Fame. The founder and creative chairman of Droga 5 will be rubbing elbows with other 2012 inductees (illustrator Barry Bitt, photographer Mary Ellen Mark, SVA 3D design chair Kevin O’Callaghan and Sussman/Prezja founder Deborah Sussman) at a benefit gala in New York on October 5 (Friday).
Droga5 is a young agency, started in 2006, that has since grown its impressive roster of clients with global brands such as PUMA, Kraft Foods, Hennessy, UNICEF and Coca-Cola among others. One of David’s latest, most talked about works was a geo-tagged scavenger hunt for Jay-Z’s biography “Decoded”.
"In the long history of ad agency brilliance – successful writers and outrageously distinctive art directors have ruled the land. And now, add the name David Droga to that list as this truly independent and innovative agency thinker rightfully takes his place as one of the creative geniuses of the modern marketing world,” says Bob Giraldi, film director and owner of Giraldi Media.
The Art Directors Club is one of the biggest and most concentrated groups in the world for creative talent. The ADC Hall of Fame has been recognizing creative, innovative professionals who have made significant contributions to art direction and visual communication since 1971.
