Clow, the chairman and global director of TBWA\Worldwide, made a virtual appearance on the Caxtons stage via a live stream, joined by Jeff Goodby, co-founder of Goodby Silverstein & Partners, in conversation as part of the session.

Delegates were able to submit their questions to Clow and Goodby in advance of the ‘Creative Legend’ event.

Both Clow and Goodby are stars of the Emmy Award-winning 2009 film about the ad industry, Art & Copy.
