Thirsty for news and innovation

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. Where time is concerned, we are young. However, we are already a big festival with a huge importance on 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.
