One of the highlights of the 2015 Loeries Creative Week Durban is undoubtedly the DStv Seminar of Creativity. The seminar brings together seven global leaders in creativity that will share insights on brand communication trends by interpreting the topic ‘Creativity Adds’ from their own career perspective. The list of speakers include:
