“Creativity is the only thing I actually, genuinely, give a shit about,” is the eye-catching headline of this week’s big interview with BBH London’s chief executive Karen Martin. Written by Campaign’s UK editor Maisie McCabe, Martin, who became president of the IPA in March, opens up about her plans for the two-year term.

Fittingly, as the weather has taken an abrupt autumnal turn, we asked industry leaders to share their “back to school” priorities for the autumn term in our Question of the Week. Brace yourself for lots of school-tastic puns.

If it’s views on the work you’re after, look no further as this week we have Review of the Week on Primark’s recent ad by VCCP plus Private View featuring the musings of Publicis London’s chief creative officer Noël Bunting and Andy Jex, the CCO of TBWA\London and Dark Horses.

There are also new Movers and Shakers, Pitch Update and Agencies on the Agenda columns.

Stay dry and bye for now.

Gemma Charles, deputy editor, Campaign UK
