Five Brandcenter teams from the Class of 2023 have been awarded Pencils in the 2023 D&AD New Blood Awards. Pencil levels will be revealed at the New Blood Awards ceremony in July.
The D&AD New Blood awards program is open to advertising, design, digital, and marketing students, recent graduates, and young creatives worldwide. Teams from around the world respond to real briefs set by real clients, and a judges panel made up of the industry’s top creatives select which work is worthy of Pencil in one of the five levels: Wood, Graphite, Yellow, White, or Black (the best of the best). A D&AD New Blood Pencil is one of the toughest and most coveted awards a young creative can win.
Below are the Brandcenter teams awarded Pencils in the 2023 New Blood Awards program. We congratulate these members of the Class of 2023, as well as Brandcenter professor Berwyn Hung, and look forward to learning which level they’ve won later this summer.
