Exclusive Invitation to the Caples Awards & DMNews Creative Jam

I would like to extend a personal invitation to attend the 31st John Caples International Awards dinner and first DMNews Global Creative Jam, a forum for agency creatives and marketing executives to discuss the issues facing the industry. The Caples Awards is at a critical moment in its history. Before Caples founder Andi Emerson’s death in 2008, she was determined to ensure Caples' continuity and, moreover, its growth into an even bigger and more celebrated event. Last year, Andi and the Caples board agreed to enter into an important partnership with DMNews, part of Haymarket Media, to produce and manage the event.

The partnership with DMNews has already proved to be a big success. We judged nearly 900 entries to the awards this year, and some 70 judges from around the world took part in the process. This year's Awards dinner on March 19th will be the best yet, taking place at Capitale, a hip downtown Manhattan location. DMNews is also convening a unique forum called the Global Creative Jam on the day of the Awards dinner. The Jam will include a series of in-depth roundtable discussions, as well as presentations from creative and marketing leaders, on the importance of taking creative risks. It will be an informative and intimate opportunity to glean best practices from the world's top minds and share your own concerns and solutions. Your time is valuable. We’ve designed the day to ensure you receive the most benefit while away from the office. It is vital that you take part in industry activities, making the Awards Dinner and Global Creative Jam the prime opportunity. By purchasing a table at the dinner, or tickets for you and your team to attend both events, you are not only supporting the DM industry, but are also reaping the full benefits of membership to the elite community of creatives to which you already belong. I have included registration details for both events below, and I look forward to seeing you on March 19th.

The Jam will feature a series of intensive roundtable discussions between marketers and creatives, each one tackling a different perspective on the challenges of taking risks in marketing campaigns today. The roundtables will be led by creatives as well as marketing leaders, who will share their proprietary insights into selling in risky concepts, maintaining brand integrity with dangerous ideas, and how to forge winning partnerships between creatives and marketing leadership.
