The global scholarship competition kicks off Clear Channel’s overarching creative advertising initiative designed to drive excitement among the creative community, centered on the possibilities audio and out-of-home platforms offer and to develop leadership talent in the field. Beginning with the Berlin School scholarship, Clear Channel will help to develop leadership talent in the field of audio communications. In conjunction with the competition kickoff, Berlin School President Michael Conrad will welcome Bob Pittman, Clear Channel Chairman and CEO, to the Berlin School in Cannes on Tuesday, June 18 at 5:15 p.m. for an exclusive fireside chat to discuss Pittman’s strategy for fostering creativity and innovative thinking at Clear Channel.

“We are proud to work with the Berlin School and our new Creative Council to award this scholarship to the audio industry’s next creative innovator,” said Pittman. “Joining forces with the Berlin School to drive education and awareness of the value that audio advertising offers is a key initiative for us, and the Berlin School is a perfect global partner to foster such training and development. I am also so pleased to welcome the amazing talents who have joined our Creative Advisory Council which I am confident will make a lasting impact on the media landscape in both audio and out-of-home.”

Members of the Berlin School Admission Committee will work closely together with Clear Channel’s newly formed Creative Advisory Council to review, evaluate and select the scholarship winner.
