“Every year, for 99 years, ADC rewards the very best work because it moves us forward,” said Steve Sandstrom, creative director, designer and founder, Sandstrom Partners New York and member of The One Club Board of Directors. “It gives recognition to the creators and producers, and also to the clients who make it happen. It inspires them to continue their excellence. And it inspires others to reach higher and work harder because every great idea needs great execution to even be considered. Each year the very best work is recorded and the new standard is set. And the world's creative energy continues to find new solutions and create new experiences and touch new audiences. In our world, there is no status quo.”
