The Advertising Club is hosting a special address by Mark D'Arcy, Chief Creative Officer, Creative Shop of Facebook on Friday, October 31, 2014, at 6.30 PM at Taj Land's End, Bandra. D'Arcy leads a team of creative strategists tasked with creating and building ideas that transform how the world's largest and most innovative marketers use Facebook to drive business growth.

After two decades of working as a writer and Chief Creative Officer in advertising and media, D'Arcy joined Facebook in 2011 to better explore the creative potential of the platform. As part of this effort, last year, he founded the Facebook Creative Council, comprising some of the most highly regarded and influential creative voices in the world. The council provides Facebook with invaluable perspectives and ideas to better engage and educate the global creative community, identify and celebrate breakthrough work and influence how Facebook develops to be an even richer and more engaging place to connect brands with the people they serve.

Prior to joining Facebook, D'Arcy spent seven years at Time Warner in New York, as Chief Creative Officer of its Global Media Group. Here, he co-developed the first truly creative media arts practice, within a global media company, designed to better leverage the company's extensive television, film, print and digital assets for its key marketing partners. In 2009, he was also named President of the Group and Senior Vice-president of Time Warner.

D'Arcy has been widely recognised for his creativity and leadership in the creative industries and regularly speaks all around the world on the subject of creativity in social media, the transformation of marketing, communication arts and the role and purpose of brands in society. He has served as a juror on numerous international awards shows including the CLIO Awards, LIA Awards, The International ANDY Awards and, in 2013, served on the inaugural Innovations Lions jury at the Cannes Lions Awards.

He started his career in New Zealand and then moved to New York where he spent 17 years. He recently located to London with his wife, daughter and two naughty dogs.
