(New York — 2 May 2018) FCB global CCO Susan Credle has been named chairwoman of the Board of Directors for The One Club for Creativity, as voted by club members and the current Board.

The One Club, the foremost non-profit organization celebrating creative excellence in advertising and design, also announced 12 new appointees to its National and International Boards.

The nominees include representatives from four new countries: Philippines, Singapore, Spain and United Arab Emirates. The new group also now includes a dedicated Board member for Australia, a role which was previously alternated each term with New Zealand.

Credle, a current One Club board member, replaces José Molla, founder and CCO at The Community, Miami, whose term as chairman of the National Board of Directors has come to an end. He will officially hand over the reins of the organization to Credle at The One Show on Friday evening, May 11.

“For as long as Susan’s been a board member, she has always been highly engaged with club programming, particularly our education, inclusion & diversity and gender equality efforts,” said Kevin Swanepoel, CEO, The One Club for Creativity. “Her business and creative leadership made her a natural selection by the board.”

“I joined the advertising industry before portfolio schools existed. The One Club became my university,” said Credle. “From the beautiful coverage of the creative industry to the workshops, to The One Show Book which many of us referred to as the ‘Advertising bible’, I learned to aim higher, to do better. Today, it’s exciting to see The One Club continuing to evolve while holding true to the same goal. To inspire us all to be better. José has done a tremendous job leading The One Club through some big years of change. I look forward to working with Kevin and his team and the board, as we continue to uphold the legacy of The One Club.”

Glenn Cole, founder and CCO, 72andSunny in Los Angeles has been re-elected to serve as vice chair of the Board.

Three industry leaders have been added to The One Club National Board of Directors: Keith Cartwright, ECD, 72andSunny, Los Angeles; Chloe Gottlieb, EVP, CCO US, R/GA, New York, and Fernando Machado, global chief marketing officer, Burger King, Miami.
