The Art Directors Club (www.adcglobal.org), the premier organization for creatives in integrated media and the first global creative collective of its kind, today announced it will provide content curation and expert commentary from leading creatives for the new YouTube Show & Tell brand channel, which launched today
YouTube serves as the platform for Show & Tell (http://www.youtube.com/ytshowandtell), the new gallery-style brand channel showcasing the best marketing examples on the site. Each quarter, ADC will curate a lively and interesting new body of work by promoting the entry process and assembling creative experts in advertising, design and interactive to review submissions.
This expert creative review team will choose the best work in four categories — brand channel, home page, viral and interactive — to appear on YouTube Show & Tell, and provide commentary on the featured content. All advertising and marketing work appearing on YouTube is eligible, and there is no charge to submit content for consideration.
“YouTube has done a great service to the industry by creating Show & Tell, providing a dynamic new platform for creatives to show off their best work,” said Doug Jaeger, ADC president. “ADC is the ideal fit for Show & Tell because we have 89 years of experience in gathering and reviewing work, and elevating the most creative ideas and best executions to a wider audience. Fundamentally, the goal of Show & Tell supports and extends the mission of the ADC: to connect people, provoke industry discussion, and elevate the best work that inspires creatives and clients to seek innovation.”
ADC will select a new team of Show & Tell creative reviewers each quarter based on their pioneering ideas, body of work and contributions to the industry. These experts will represent a range of creative thinking and execution, ensuring that the visual voice on Show & Tell represents a broad cross-section of leading-edge perspectives.
“The world-renowned creative directors, designers, art directors and copywriters we pick will bring both expertise and experience to Show & Tell,” said Jaeger. “While the reviewers will have different perspectives, they will all share a passion for creativity, craft and storytelling.”

“Ǝvolution” Comes Full Circle At The Chelsea Film Festival
The Chelsea Film Festival, running from October 16th through October 20th, 2024, at Regal Cinemas here in Union Square, is set to host the East Coast premiere of Ǝvolution, a thought-provoking experimental micro-short film that proves big ideas can come in small packages and in perfect circles.
In just 1 minute 16 seconds, this cinematic gem by Award-Winning Director Romina Schwedler, with original music by Argentine Composer Ignacio Montoya Carlotto, explores a cycle as old as time: life leads to progress, progress leads to destruction, and destruction, well, leads back to life. But is this vicious circle unbreakable? Ǝvolution suggests the answer is yes, unless we decide to open our eyes.
Inspired by the overwhelming number of recent events that threaten human existence, Ǝvolution, possibly the shortest film in this 12th edition of the festival, plays out entirely through the symbolism of circles, cleverly illustrating —in the blink of an eye— the repeating patterns of history, and confronting viewers with the uncomfortable truth that our so-called “progress” may, in fact, be guiding us to our own ruin.Premiering at the Regal 14 Union Square, New York City, on October 18, 2024, at 11 a.m., Romina Schwedler's micro-short, featuring Leah Young with cinematography by Alan J. Carmona, will be sure to spark conversations longer than the film itself! Forcing viewers to reconsider the true meaning of evolution, not just as a biological process, but as a reflection of our collective journey as humans.
With a string of festival appearances across the globe, including CineGlobe at CERN (Switzerland/France), Oscar®... Read More
