In Conversation with Judy John
Judy John is certainly no slouch. She’s been ranked the #1 CCO in the world, is on the Board of the One Club for Creativity, been a Cannes Jury president, found a way to be both the CEO and CCO of a heavily celebrated ad agency, and is now the Global Chief Creative Officer of a PR firm that was named the 2nd most awarded independent network at Cannes 2024. As Judy was the very first guest of ‘In Conversation With’ four years ago and then the first returning guest, we’ve decided it’s about damn time to bask in her glow once again and learn from her awesomeness. Please join Edelman’s Andrew Simon for this very special in-person ICW at the Arts & Letters Club (14 Elm St) on Thursday, September 12th. Come for the Conversation, stay for the drinks.
