The 2018 JCS International Young Creatives Award Competition Opens June 15
JCSI has proven experience establishing high-profile partnerships that span the realms of popular culture, new media and the arts. After negotiating a partnership arrangement, JCSI and the International International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences launched the JCS International Young Creatives Award in 2017.
“This award was a collaborative initiative that allowed us to engage young creative leaders around the world, raise the profile of the International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences—an already well-established top-tier cultural arts program—and integrate social media platforms so we could scale up quickly. It is just the latest example of what JCS International can do for its clients and partners.”
Michal Grayevsky, JCS International
