After more than four decades defining creativity in South Africa and inspiring generations of creatives, John Hunt is retiring as Worldwide Creative Chair of TBWA. His mantra, “Life’s too short to be mediocre,” is evident in everything he’s ever undertaken. From groundbreaking campaigns like BMW Mouse and The Zimbabwean, to the launch of our first democratic constitution, his impact has been indelible — not only on us as a global network, but on the country as a whole.
John, it is an honour to witness you begin this exciting new chapter, knowing that whatever you do next will continue to shape, guide, and inspire us.
Thank you, John.
