Mary Warlick
CEO
The One Club

Since assuming leadership of The One Club for Art & Copy in 1989 as Executive Director and through her promotion to Chief Executive Officer in 2006, Warlick has shaped the non-profit into an organization with global reach and influence. She annually produces the One Show, the premier and most respected advertising awards program in the world. Winning a One Show Pencil is considered the zenith of achievement in the industry. During her tenure, Warlick has expanded The One Club's roster of annual awards programs to include One Show Interactive, One Show Design, and One Show Entertainment. In 2008, One Show Festival Week was expanded to include the One Show College Competition and Students Awards, the Annual Student Exhibition, and One Show Speaker Series.

In addition to producing the awards programs, Warlick has also dedicated herself to championing The One Club's Creative Hall of Fame, acknowledging and preserving the legacy of advertising in an industry that so often forgets its own heritage and sources.

Most recently, Warlick served as co-curator of the exhibition, "The Real Men and Women of Madison Avenue and Their Impact on American Culture." The first-of-its kind exhibition focuses on work by members of The One Club's Creative Hall of Fame, and presents a history of creative advertising through more than 200 advertisements, posters, books, TV commercials, and video and audio interviews. In also paying tribute to current popular culture in the television series "Mad Men," this educational exhibition of 20th Century America highlights the lives and work of dozens of brilliant copywriters and art directors who helped shape American consumption and culture over the past eighty years.

Ms. Warlick is an alumnus of Columbia University.
