Circus: The Festival of Commercial Creativity — a four-day exploration and exhibition of the latest in marketing — is scheduled for 22-25 February at CarriageWorks in Sydney.
The festival, organised by The Communications Council, will feature keynote speakers, a showcase of YouTube content presented by Google, and the APG Battle of Big Thinking, in which representatives from government and the advertising and marketing industries battle it out for the “biggest idea.”
Headline speakers include Jose Cabaco, global brand creative director for Nike Sportswear; Rob Campbell, regional head of creative strategy for W+K; Marvin Chow, Google’s marketing director for Asia Pacific and Japan; Jess Greenwoood, director of Contagious Insider; and Charles Quigley, chairman of BBH Asia.
