Respected creative Neil Lawrence inducted into ADMA Hall of Fame

Renowned creative director Neil Lawrence, who died tragically last year, has been inducted into the ADMA Hall of Fame for his contributions to the industry.

The adman who founded the Sydney arm of TBWA and was a driving force behind the Kevin ’07 campaign, died in a diving accident while on holiday last year.

Lawrence’s daughter, Anna, and his son, Tom, accepted the posthumous honour during the AC&E Awards.

“Dad worked on a lot of brands throughout his career but it was his later work that he was proudest of and that we remember him for: Kevin ’07; Jay Weatherill; Anna Bligh; Recognise, and finally, his campaigning and documentary on the pokies,” Tom Lawrence said.
