According to the The One Club, the new directors were elected by a vote of The One Club membership.

They will serve for two-year terms.

The appointments are effective immediately, and include the following: 

  • Katie Allen, VP and global brand creative of digital of Nike
  • PJ Pereira, co-founder and creative chairperson of Pereira O'Dell, and CCO of Serviceplan Americas, and
  • Jaime Robinson, cofounder and CCO of JOAN Creative.
"I hold an unwavering conviction that creativity is the driving force behind everything good in this world. The One Club not only embraces this shared belief, but also provides the foundation to confront the significant challenges our community encounters now and in the future," says Allen.

"It is with immense pride and deep honour that I accept the opportunity to contribute as a member of its board of directors, collaborating with some of the most visionary minds in our industry," Allen adds.

"As a non-profit organisation so historically committed to the future of our industry, no one is better equipped than The One Club to help us navigate the social, technological and business changes we have ahead," says Pereira. "Being part of this board is an honour I promise I won't take lightly." 

"From the moment I was a wee babe in advertising, I've felt the benefits of The One Club shining its light across the industry — working to make it better, more equitable and, of course, always more creative," says Robinson. "I couldn't be prouder to join its board of directors, and promise to do my best to continue in this awesome tradition." 

"Creative integrity is a guiding value at The One Club, so I'm thrilled that our membership elected these three stars," says Glenn Cole, co-founder and chairperson of 72andSunny and board chairperson of The One Club for Creativity.

"Our board members are some of the top creative leaders in the world who take pride in driving progress and making things happen. Allen, Pereira and Robinson come from different backgrounds, but they're proven innovators and impact junkies. I can't wait to see what we do together," concludes Cole.
