London International Awards 2012

LIA has established itself as a revolutionary global leader celebrating creativity, the power of ideas, and new technology in all forms of Advertising and Design. Defining its 28-year history, Barbara Levy, Founder and President of LIA, continues her innovative leadership meeting the demands of our ever-changing industry.

LIA has held an Award Ceremony in London for its first 26 years. In recent years, in the midst of a global recession, many of our winners have not had the budget to fly half way across the world simply to go up on stage for a minute or two of recognition. Awards Presentations are, by their very nature, an ideal opportunity to mingle with your colleagues and peers and we wanted to find a way to keep this element alive. It occurred to us that having already gathered the cream of our industry for judging in Las Vegas (now in its 5th year) that the budget that we had for the one night Awards Ceremony could be better used bringing International Creatives from around the world together to share their experiences and to discuss the future of advertising, design, brand-building and the overall state of the creative global markets with Young Creatives.
