  • LIA to honor Piyush Pandey with Created for Creatives LIA Legend Award

    LIA to honor Piyush Pandey with Created for Creatives LIA Legend Award

    Mumbai: Ogilvy’s former global chief creative officer Piyush Pandey will be accepting the Created for Creatives LIA Legend Award onsite, in Las Vegas on 1 October 2024. Also in attendance will be the LIA jurors, onsite Creative LIAisons attendees and speakers and global press.

    London International Awards (LIA), is pleased to honor Piyush Pandey with its 2024 LIA Legend Award. As the man who put Indian advertising on the world map, Piyush is the second creative giant to be bestowed this prestigious award by LIA. He was appointed the executive chairman of Ogilvy India in 2004. He also went on to serve as global chief creative officer for two and a half years. In January 2024, he stepped into an advisory role.

    Piyush Pandey – the man, the giant, the force, the phenomenon. Indian advertising’s greatest master and its most humble student. Creativity’s fiercest warrior with the softest heart. He is the man whose ideas have shaped the way an entire generation of Indians have led their lives, built, painted and furnished their homes, enjoyed their chocolates, bought their vehicles, connected with their loved ones, chosen their vacations, voted for their governments, bought their watches, saved their money, done their laundry, sipped their tea, fought illnesses, pandemics and taken pride in their nation.

    The LIA Legend Award is given to a leader of the industry, past or present, who through their talent, vision and generosity has demonstrated outstanding creativity. They are those who are relentless and unwavering in their commitment to build up the industry through their indefatigable mentoring, teaching and developing of others.

    Creative brilliance and creative leadership are, of course, very important factors. More than that, LIA recognizes people who have selflessly and with great generosity, given their time and their personal attention to further the industry. They are champions of talent at all levels and the defenders of creativity.

    LIA president Barbara Levy elaborated, “We look for someone who has reshaped the industry for the better. More than that, it must be someone who not only has a wealth of knowledge and experience, but generously shares it with emerging talent. Piyush has shaped Indian advertising, as well as, gifted his knowledge to the global advertising world. Like all advertising legends, it is his work that tells the best story. Piyush epitomizes all the qualities David Ogilvy said great leaders should possess – bravery, idealism, curiosity, playfulness, candour, intuition, free-spiritedness and persistence.”

    LIA chairman Terry Savage further stated, “In giving this award to Piyush, we recognize someone who has openly given back to others in an extraordinary way. Over and above that, Piyush has been a role model, inspiration and creative champion to so many people, people who follow his achievements and because of this have gone on their own creative journey.”

    In accepting the honor, Piyush Pandey in his characteristic unassuming manner said: “I am truly delighted and humbled to be the recipient of this award. I believe that my success is based on a lot of team members. Like cricket, even the best player cannot win alone. I have succeeded to whatever extent because of an amazing team; each a rock-star and they make me look good. It has been my great joy and pleasure to be part of LIA and their Creative LIAisons Program, as I believe the learnings of a lifetime should be shared with the next generation. Advertising is a team effort. I am delighted that LIA has considered me and decided to confer the Legend award to me. Wishing my parents were alive to read this news. Thank you LIA.”

    As David Ogilvy, a legend himself and the father of advertising, once said: “Don’t bunt. Aim out of the ballpark. Aim for the company of immortals.”

    LIA is proud to welcome Piyush Pandey – a man who not only hit it out of the ballpark, but has changed the rules – to the line-up of LIA creative legends already awarded and those to come.
