The One Club opens Cairo chapter

The One Club for Creativity, the non-profit organisation devoted to elevating and celebrating creative excellence in advertising and design on a global basis, has established The One Club for Creativity-Cairo as its first international chapter.

The new chapter will offer creatives in Egypt an array of programming across creative disciplines, with all initiatives falling under four key pillars: education, inclusion & diversity, professional development and gender equality.

President of the new chapter is Enas Rashwan, who also serves as president of Cairo Ad School and a creative director for more than a decade. Rashwan has firsthand experience in all The One Club for Creativity has to offer from her time in the US, where her career path was guided by participation in The One Show and Young Guns awards shows and attendance at various educational and professional development events hosted by the club.

“Putting Egypt on the global creative map has long been my aim, and the existence of The One Club in Egypt is a dream came true for me,” said Rashwan. “Our country has always been the hub of creativity in the Middle East, and we have many great creatives who are known across the region. With The One Club-Cairo, we’ll now be able to connect our creatives to the global community.”

“No other organization gives back to the advertising and design industries with the level of comprehensive educational and development programming on a global basis as The One Club for Creativity,” said Kevin Swanepoel, CEO of the organisation, headquartered in New York. “Cairo has long been a creative leader in the region, and we are thrilled to work with Enas and her team as they have become our first international chapter.”
