The Global Awards Invites Students to Enter the 2015 Young Globals Student Competition & Internship Program

Corporate Sponsors McCann Health and Ogilvy CommonHealth Worldwide Support 2015’s Young Globals

NEW YORKNY – October 29, 2015 – The Global Awards℠ second annual Young Globals competition & internship program is open for entries.

The Young Globals is the only college/portfolio school competition for healthcare advertising that offers students an opportunity to submit their creative work, the chance to earn a prestigious Global Award, and the experience to test drive their career in healthcare advertising. Launched to identify and recognize emerging creative talent from around the world, Young Globals introduces students to the rewards of working in the healthcare and wellness advertising industry.

“The inaugural Young Globals competition was a huge success, said Michael Demetriades VP & Executive Director of the Global Awards. “ In 2014, two student teams were awarded internships at TBWA/PW UK and CAHG Chicago. This investment in the next generation of talent provided the winning teams with the ultimate award, a chance to experience the industry and use their creativity through an internship within the healthcare advertising industry,” said Mr.Demetriades. “And the Young Globals internship program resulted in a Young Globals award winner moving on to a full time position in the world of healthcare and wellness advertising…Mission Accomplished!”

The 2015 Global Awards is partnering with McCann Health and Ogilvy CommonHealth Worldwide for the second annual Young Global student competition. Both will support the competition as official corporate sponsors and mentor emerging young creatives by providing internship opportunities to this year’s winning teams.

“Providing our talented youth with the challenge and scope to be visionary ultimately sits with us as leaders,” said Jeremy Perrott, global chief creative officer, McCann Health. “The Young Globals Award not only identifies those with innovative and creative solutions. It challenges them to go beyond the brief, inquire, challenge back and find answers to questions not yet asked. This is what we need from our future leaders who will change and evolve our business and industry. This is what sets the Young Globals Student Competition apart from the rest.”

As co-sponsor of the 2015 competition, Scott Watson, chief creative officer of Ogilvy CommonHealth Worldwide called the Young Globals, “An inspiring place to be for those looking to change our world through creativity.”

“Winning the Young Globals Award” said Mr. Watson, “is not only a once in a lifetime opportunity to show the world your skills, it’s a chance to experience firsthand what it means to be part of the healthcare communications industry. You will learn how to create magical and meaningful work from the very best in our business. That’s what the Globals both honors and fosters. The very best in the business continually challenging and inspiring each other through creativity.”

The Young Globals competition is open to all college and university students, including portfolio centers, who are exploring advertising, marketing, art, design, creative writing, technology, or similar areas of creative focus.  A creative brief will be provided to entrants as inspiration and entrants will be offered the opportunity to create a speculative campaign. Students interested in exploring healthcare advertising as a career may enter either individually or as a two-person team.

This year’s challenge brief invites student to go beyond conventional thinking, inviting students to craft a compelling campaign to initiate a cultural shift resulting in Health becoming second nature in our lives.
