DDB heads to Advertising Week 2018!
As we gear up for Advertising Week 2018 in New York City on October 1st, there are a number of events that we’re excited to be involved in. This year marks the conference’s 15th anniversary, and with that comes an exciting lineup and some special events. Near to our hearts was this year’s tribute to the late Ken Kaess, former DDB Worldwide CEO and beloved ad man, featured in the conference’s 15th anniversary program welcome letter.
Check out a few highlights below, and don’t forget to follow along on social via the hashtag #DDBatAW!
