»Great creativity isn’t about how many tools you have. It’s about how you use the tools at your disposal. The One-Channel category at the Golden Drum Awards is a testament to the power of disciplined storytelling and precision. It’s about creating truly eye-catching, attention grabbing and emotive pieces of work that capture imaginations. It’s about making a single platform sing, ensuring that every frame, every word, and every interaction is crafted and shaped for maximum impact. As Jury President, I’m eager to uncover work that redefines the potential of individual channels.
