Andi Emerson Award 2024
Sir John Hegarty
The Andi Emerson Award, named after the founder of The Caples Awards, is given by the President of the Jury to any person he or she believes has made an outstanding contribution to creativity in advertising.
In 2024, David Harris has nominated Sir John Hegarty for this accolade:
“I can’t think of anyone who has made a greater contribution to creativity in advertising, both from the work he has created, the agency he started and the way he champions creativity in business, working to support people of all ages to become more creative, than Sir John Hegarty.
Even before Nick Kamen walked into a launderette and converted us all to Levi's and boxer shorts, I loved the way John brought art into advertising. Back in the day, I remember watching VHS copies of “Rivets” and “Marlin” over and over again to learn how to tell a story, to art direct it beautifully and to dramatise a clear product truth.
Audi “Odd Couple” is still my favourite car ad. A list of product truths wrapped up in a piece of theatre. When it was shown it was quite unlike any car ad I’d seen before and that was when I started saving for an Audi.
I wanted to be just like John Hegarty – cool, articulate, authoritative, someone with a great sense of design as well as great ideas. Plus, approachable, and generous with his time.
I love the fact that even now, when he could be taking it easy, he is still curious and hungry, helping start-ups, and pushing the importance of creativity within business with his Business Creativity blog.
Truly inspiring and a great role model.”

Jury President
David Harris
Executive Creative Director, Deloitte UK
As digital transformation continues to turn advertising inside out and our definitions of creativity twist and turn, we’re delighted to have our first-ever consultancy-side President. That said, don’t expect David’s mission statement to be too left-brained. As an art director (and an artist) of substance, he believes fervently in work that cuts through the noise and creates impact. What the Deloitte influence may do is to strengthen a right-brained conviction that measurement is increasingly important as clients seek greater integration of all the parts of their business. What we have, then, is a whole-brained President. In himself a reflection of our times.
