We're wishing safe travel to our 40 Berlin Schoolers now making their way to Shanghai (then Tokyo) for the EMBA program's 2-week Asia module, which kicks off Sunday. Pack an umbrella!

Our latest newsletter has great insights on leadership and China, as well as info about how to apply for three great scholarships available for our EMBA program.

Please help our current EMBA participant Sarah McGill (McCann Healthcare UK) in researching her master's thesis by answering a few questions. Thanks, and good luck, Sarah!

Here's a great profile of Berlin agency Scholz & Friends, featuring current EMBA participant and S+F Managing Director Wolf Schneider.

Another Berlin Schooler moves up: congrats to Christian Behrendt, formerly a Creative Director at R/GA in New York, for his big move to become the Executive Creative Director at Amnesia Razorfish in Sydney. Bravo! Leaving New York never easy...

What if you could attend Cannes Lions and ask Sir Martin Sorrell, Sir John Hegarty, and David Droga - in private Master Classes - how to lead your company to creative excellence? You can. The seats are almost all gone for our 4th annual Cannes Creative Leaders Program, so register today!

What a fiesta for the Berlin School! Agencies led by Berlin Schoolers comprised 6 of the top 12 award winners atthe annual FIAP, led by a dominant AlmapBBDO. Kudos to Latinworks, Loducca, Leo Burnett Brasil & Argentina, and Maruri Grey, and our beloved creative leaders driving them to excellence.

Congrats to the "Berliners" who did so well at the TriBeCa Film Festival! Our Cannes Creative Leaders program participant Peter Grasse's company - Curious - did the post/VFX & distribution for the top winner, and EMBA participant Stein Kvae's company made the film that won Best Cinematography. Bravo to Peter & Stein!

New York friends: our EMBA grad Craig Markus developed such a great thesis on Rage + Grace in communication and leadership, that he later founded his own agency on the concept. Hear him tell his story this Wednesday at the New York Festivals, where two more alumni of ours, Gideon Amichay and Fernando Bellotti, are on the Executive Jury.

Here's an interesting case that shows what good creative leadership can do for a news publication. To see how Dr. Esser turned around Die Zeit, here's his President's Lecture held at the Berlin School in 2010. http://bit.ly/ZR1c9j
