#Loeries2016: Thanking creativity!
But the biggest award of the night was the new Creative Hall of Fame inductee, and it was a proud moment for transformation in the industry as head of Facebook Africa's Nunu Ntshingila's name was announced.
“I am humbled by this award, thank you for recognising that creativity does not exist in a vacuum, and for recognising the people who create the environment where creativity thrives.”

Ntshingila is the first woman to be inducted into the Hall of Fame, a huge achievement for the advertising veteran and for the industry. “This award is for all the women in the industry, the gender diversification discussion is nowhere near finished, it’s only just starting.”
She thanked her former family at Ogilvy who allowed her to dream and play and always believed in her. She gave thanks to her new family, Facebook, who she says makes sure that her tomorrows are even better than her yesterdays. “We believe we bring the technology where great creativity thrives,” she says.
On young women entering the industry she said “open your minds to opportunities, because when you open your minds the world will rise to meet you. To all the young girls from Soweto to Seshego, this award is yours, not mine.”
