The IPA is celebrating five adland luminaries in recognition of their outstanding services to advertising in its second annual New Year Honours.

Each individual has raised the reputation of the industry at large throughout their stellar careers and will be honoured with FIPA (Fellow of the IPA) status and celebrated at the IPA’s President’s Reception this evening (16 January 2020).

The 2020 IPA New Year Honours List:

• Jenny Biggam, owner, the7stars
• Helen Calcraft, founding partner, Lucky Generals 
• Johnny Hornby, chairman and CEO, The&Partnership
• Carl Johnson, CEO, Anomaly
• Charles Vallance, founder and chairman, VCCP

Says Paul Bainsfair, director general, IPA: “To say that Jenny, Helen, Johnny, Carl and Charles have made their mark on adland is an understatement. Their wisdom, insight and intellect have transformed our business and will continue to shape it in the years to come. My heartfelt thanks and congratulations go to these five industry exemplars.”

In addition to announcing the New Year Honours List, the IPA will also be releasing a Summer Honours’ List, celebrating outstanding individuals for their services to the IPA. These individuals will be awarded at the annual Members’ Lunch, on 29th April.
