CP+B chairman and Hall of Famer Chuck Porter confirmed as speaker at Advertising Week APAC
Advertising Week, the world’s largest annual gathering of advertising, creative, entertainment, marketing, media and technology industry leaders, has announced the first speakers for its APAC event – which will return to Sydney on 29 July.
Advertising Hall of Famer Chuck Porter of CP+B will join world-leading social campaigner and Valuable founder Caroline Casey; social impact leader and Mekanism boss Jason Harris; and one of Forbes’ The World’s Most Influential CMOs, Susan Vobejda from The Trade Desk, to inspire attendees with rich expertise and captivating stories of the advertising, media and marketing industries.
Porter joined the Crispin Agency in 1988 as creative director and partner, after a long career as an award-winning freelance copywriter. The agency was renamed Crispin & Porter, and within three years, it doubled in size and was named one of the top 15 creative shops in the country. Under his leadership, CP+B has become one of the most awarded agencies in the world and was honored as Agency of the Decade by Advertising Age. Porter has been a judge or jury chairman at the Clios, the Andy Awards, the D&AD Awards and Cannes, among others. He has served as chairman of the 4A’s and co-chairman of Advertising Week. He’s an advisor to the Future of Advertising Project at Wharton as well as co-founder of the Boulder Digital Works Institute at the University of Colorado. Along with Martha Stewart and Michael Dell, he was named one of Inc. Magazine’s “Entrepreneurs We Love”, and this year he was inducted into the Advertising Hall of Fame.
