As such, the Loeries Creative Week is the largest gathering of its kind in the region, bringing together the very best in the industry for a festival of networking, celebration, and recognition of great work. And the 2022 Loeries was no different, with a week of celebration, creativity and recognition and coming to an exciting conclusion. 

Saleh Elghatit, creative director, Serviceplan Middle East commented, “So much love and craft has been put into creating an illustration style that would convey the message in the best possible way. We worked closely with the illustrator to find a balance between what those feels would look like visually. We’re beyond happy this was selected for GP and more importantly that we were able to reach out to those who might not know they need to seek out help.”
