Top international creatives from World Vision, R/GA, Gatorade, MDC and Jurlique will be among the speakers at The Communications Council's 2012 Circus Festival.

Nick Law, chief creative officer at R/GA New York, design expert Vince Frost, MDC's chief innovation director Faris Yakob, Gatorade's global chief marketing officer Sarah Robb O'Hagan, Jurlique's chief brand officer Rosanna Iacono and Tim Costello, World Vision's CEO, all feature in the creatively-diverse line-up.

Exploring the latest developments in the world of commercial creativity, Circus Festival will take place from March 27 to 29 in Eveleigh, Sydney.

As well as bringing together speakers from across the globe, Circus will focus on industry trends, changing roles and the future. The APG Battle of Big Thinking will celebrate big ideas and a Master Class stream will explore trends and ideas in creative communications across all disciplines.

Margaret Zabel, CEO of The Communications Council, said the event will feature emerging marketing trends and technologies.

“Circus is an opportunity to glean insights on how creativity transforms businesses and contributes to top line growth,” she said. “It is also a chance to come together to network and do business with clients and industry leaders.”

Sudeep Gohil, Communications Council board member representative for Circus, said it will be an event not to be missed.

“Our aspiration has always been to create a truly world class event for Australia, going above and beyond the usual industry conferences, and we are really excited about the calibre of speakers we have managed to secure this year.”
