David Kershaw, Chief Executive, M&C Saatchi and Chair of the Judges for the A&B 
Cultural Branding Award, said: “Britain’s success in the creative economy depends
on a strong cultural core. We cannot have a strong cultural core without private
as well as public funding, and we cannot achieve strong private funding unless there
is a mechanism of demonstrating the excellence and value that comes from this . 
That’s why these awards are so important and why we continue to celebrate outstanding
partnerships across the UK.”

The winners will be announced at an award ceremony at the V&A in London on 24th 
November 2008.
