The One Club for Creativity has announced the latest group of advertising, design and education innovators to join the Creative Hall of Fame in September.
The Creative Hall of Fame has been honoring the lifetime achievements of creative luminaries in all forms of advertising and design, starting with the induction of Leo Burnett in 1961.
The One Club has announced its inductees to the Creative Hall of Fame for 2024.

In addition, Margaret Calvert, OBE RDI, the celebrated typographer, type designer, graphic designer, and educator who designed iconic road and rail signs throughout the U.K., was named this year’s recipient of the TDC Medal, presented by the Type Directors Club, part of The One Club. Calvert will also be honored during the Creative Hall of Fame induction ceremony.
For the first time this year, any One Club member could nominate a candidate by providing a thorough case for induction. Nominations were previously provided only by The One Club Board members.
Candidates were then voted on by the organization’s national and international board, as well as past Creative Hall of Fame inductees. A shortlist was determined by the selection committee, and nominators or an appointed advocate did a presentation to the board in support of their candidate. A final vote was cast by the board to select the inductees.
Criteria for being considered included impact from the nominee’s body of work, influence on the industry and inspiration of the next generation of creative leaders.
“This distinguished group of 2024 inductees has blazed a trail of innovation, transformed their industries, uplifted underrepresented groups, and continues to inspire the next generation of creative talent. They each made a profound impact but did it in profoundly different ways,” said Glenn Cole, cofounder, 72andSunny, and chairman of The One Club board of directors.
This year’s Creative Hall of Fame induction ceremony, a black-tie gala to support The One Club’s many global programs, will take place on September 5, 2024, at Gotham Hall in New York. Induction ceremony and ticket details are available here.
“At this pivotal moment in the creative industry, it’s important to recognize and celebrate the vast array of talents and ideas that drive our culture forward,” said Pum Lefebure, cofounder, CCO, Design Army and The One Club vice chairperson. “Creative Hall of Fame inductees for this year serve as a testament to the enduring values of creativity, critical thinking and craftsmanship. We must honor their past achievements and continue to build upon their legacy as we navigate the ever-evolving landscape of the creative world.”
Since The One Club For Creativity is a 501c3 nonprofit organization, individual ticket purchases above $250 and table ticket purchases above $2,500 are considered a charitable donation. Sponsorship options are available for those unable to attend the ceremony but wishing to support and celebrate the inductees. Proceeds will be used to support the club’s many global DEI, education and gender equity programs.
