Everyone in the judging process spoke with an incredible passion for their work and it was a privilege to listen to their stories. Congratulations to everyone on making the IPA iList, you are the adland’s leading lights and a true inspiration to us all.”

We are delighted to introduce you to our brand new iList 2022 who will provide the industry as a whole with much needed, tangible inspiration.

“Everyone on the IPA iList really understands diversity and inclusion.
