ワンクラブ会長からのメッセージ
One Show 2007展へようこそ。
お気づきかもしれませんが、今年のOne Showではデザイン部門受賞作品の表彰がされませんでした。理由は、デザイン部門に質の高い作品が沢山エントリーするようになったために、One Show Designを年に一度の独自のショーに昇格させ、7月に単独で授賞式を開催したためです。
これは、広告業界とOne Clubにとって素晴らしい兆候です。One Show Designのエントリーは劇的に増加し、One Show Interactiveのエントリーも25%増えました。このことは、広告業界に、いかに多額の予算が投じられているかを示すよい知らせなのです。
そこで私たちは、One Clubの運営と作品を表彰する方法を見直しました。One Clubは業界とともに成長し、変化しています。今年の素晴らしい作品を目にして、私はとても感動しています。これら最高の作品を一堂に集めて見られることは喜ばしい限りです。
広告業界は厳しい業界です。私たち広告業界にある者は、日々、創造と変革の中で仕事をしています。
しかし、そのような素晴らしい人々と仕事に囲まれていること、それこそが醍醐味なのです。

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD
Welcome to the 2007 One Show Exhibition.
Rather than talk about what was in this year’s show, I’d rather point out what wasn’t.
You might have noticed that there were no design awards given out at this year’s One Show. That’s because there were so many entries of such high quality that we finally elevated One Show Design to its own annual and, indeed, its own show in July.
It’s a great sign about the industry and what is happening at the Club. Entries were up dramatically in One Show Design and as much as 25 percent in One Show Interactive. It’s a good bellweather for how money is being spent in the industry these days.
This prompted us to take a look at how we operate as a club and celebrate the work.
We’re growing and changing with the industry with an unparalleled board of directors from all fields of this industry. The best and brightest as it were.
Meanwhile, Mary Warlick and Kevin Swanepoel have done such an amazing job running the Club that they have both been promoted, Mary to CEO and Kevin to President. Maybe the best two decisions I’ve been a part of as the head of the One Club Board of Directors.
I still get very excited when I see all the great work from this past year. This is the best stuff going and it’s great to see it all in one place. That’s the reason we’re here.
Working in the business these days isn’t for the weak kneed. We’re in a state of constant reinvention and the rules change on what seems like a monthly basis.
But when you’re surrounded by such great people and great work, that’s where the fun is.
