Gareth Price, a Senior Planner at J. Walter Thompson London, has won this year’s President’s Prize in the IPA 2016/17 Excellence Diploma - the highest qualification granted by the IPA.
Price won the award when judges chose his essay 'Thinklong' as the best of the four essays that achieved a 'Pass with Distinction' mark this year.
In total, the judges awarded four distinctions, 10 credits and three passes.
Patrick Mills, Director of Membership and Professional Development at the IPA, said: “The Excellence Diploma is the pinnacle of our qualifications programme and has once again produced some brilliant and thought provoking final essays. It is a testament to our delegates that their innovative and insightful essays will continue to help push our industry to new heights.”
