These names have come together to Executive Jury’s President which we have announced last week. We are referring to Ajaz Ahmed, Founder & CEO for the acclaimed and much awarded AKQA.
These 11 jurors will travel to Portugal in September in order to both evaluate in person the participant’s work and being speakers in the festival – where they will discuss the most relevant themes that affect the advertising industry in a global scale.
Ana Firmo Ferreira, the festival’s CEO, justifies these choices: “Lisbon is an elite festival in which we aim for the jurors to be the best of the best, worldwide. In what time is concerned, we are young. However we are already a big festival with a huge importance in a global scale. This panel of excellence will help us remain young, but will also allow us to grow in terms of relevance in this industry, thirsty for news and innovation.
Registration for the 3rd Lisbon International Advertising Festival is already opened and the agencies, brands and production companies that sign up soon can enjoy a 15% discount on their subscriptions.
