The NABS 100 Club is a group of like-minded industry leaders, from creative and media agencies, media owners and clients, who we call upon throughout the year for our talks, one-to-one and group mentoring events.
Client:
Founded in 1913, the advertising and media charity NABS exists to improve the wellbeing of everyone in our industry.
NABS are passionate about helping people to thrive, and do that by providing a range of support services. Because they are a charity, these services are free to use for people working in advertising and media.
About the Campaign:
NABS’ annual charity Art Auction invites submissions from across the industry, whether you are an account manager, buyer, planner, creative or copywriter. As an industry, we’ve shown remarkable resilience and empathy during this difficult time. To celebrate our strength of spirit, this year’s theme for NABS annual art auction is ‘Courage’.
We’re asking the OMBLES to submit an A4 poster/work of art around this years theme, which NABS will then auction off to raise money for its much-needed services.
It could be a painting, a digital design, a photograph, a print or poetry … just apply the theme of ‘Courage’ to your piece and design it to fit A4 size. Shortlisted entries will feature in the virtual auction.
2020 has been a tough year for everyone. In the face of extreme stress and hardship, NABS has never been more needed. The number of people contacting NABS about redundancy has more than doubled so far this year. In Q2 NABS Advice Line took more than 1,400 calls – a 30% increase YOY. With lockdown causing the cancellation of vital fundraising events, NABS are anticipating a forecasted drop in funding of 40%, whilst at the same time, requests for financial assistance are the most common reason for contacting NABS.
We can’t wait to see what courageous creativity the OMBLES come up with!
