A celebration of purpose-driven creativity by the International Advertising Association

The International Advertising Association (IAA) proudly announces that Creativity4Better (C4B), the international event championing the transformative power of creativity, will take place in Milan, Italy, from October 1-4th, 2025, with the main conference set for October 2nd.

C4B’s mission is to shed light on the future of business, society, and the creative bonds linking all great thinkers and doers. C4B brings together industry leaders and experts from advertising, marketing, art, food, fashion, design, music, technology, and business to explore how creativity fuels innovation, economic growth, and social progress.

A Global Platform for Creativity and Innovation

As the only global association representing all areas of the marketing and communications industry, the IAA organizes C4B to showcase creativity’s impact across key themes:

Innovation and Technology – How creative thinking can harness emerging technologies to tackle complex challenges.

Sustainability and Social Responsibility – Innovative and ethical approaches businesses can adopt to promote sustainability.

Cultural Impact – The role of creativity in shaping culture, influencing consumer behaviour, and driving societal change.

Business Growth – How creativity enhances brand performance and drives long-term success.

"Creativity 4 Better (C4B) is a world leading festival that celebrates inspiration and ideas that have helped the world for the better. Our industry today, our world today, our news today, need more kindness, goodness, and compassion. It needs ideas that spread positive impact and have a worthy contribution. This is what C4B is all about. We are honoured to launch C4B Milan, so this admirable journey continues, and more cities follow in the footsteps of Bucharest and now Milan, in the belief that creativity is the most powerful force for good. See you in Milan", said Sasan Saeidi, IAA chairman and world president.

"This marks an exciting new chapter for the IAA and the global creative community. Italy's rich heritage of art, design, and innovation makes it the perfect stage to explore how creativity can drive both business growth and social progress," said Marianna Ghirlanda, President of IAA Italy and CEO of BBDO Italy. "We look forward to welcoming visionary thinkers and doers from around the world to inspire and be inspired."
