ATLANTA -- Norm Grey, the founder of The Creative Circus, has been elected to The One Club's Educator Hall of Fame.
Grey is now the Executive Creative Director of The Creative Circus, one of the most reputable and effective advertising portfolio schools in the United States.
He has worked in the industry for decades as a designer/art director, a copywriter, a creative director, an executive creative director and an agency owner.
Grey worked on brands such as Coca-Cola, Delta Airlines, Lincoln-Mercury and Bristol-Myers.
"It's a fantastic honor," Grey said. "I'm very happy that the induction is specifically as an educator. That's because 'real world' professionals face an awful lot of difficulties that students and especially their teachers can easily avoid."
In 1995, he started The Creative Circus to help others break into advertising.
The Creative Hall of Fame was first established in 1961 with the induction of Leo Burnett.
At that time it was named the Copywriters Hall of Fame, sponsored by the Copy Club of New York.
In 2012 the One Club held the inaugural Educator's Hall of Fame, honoring educators who have created a legacy and fostered the next generation of creative talent.
Rob Lawton and Richard Wilde were the first two inductees, and Norm will be joining this esteemed group.
"At The Creative Circus, we help kids become capable of not just surviving in the professional world, but thriving. That's why everyone at The Circus shares this honor," Grey added.
The Creative Hall of Fame ceremony is a black-tie gala event that will take place on Tuesday, January 27, 2015 in the opulent grand ballroom of Gotham Hall in Manhattan.
