PIAF prepares for 2013 edition; Adrian Botan – member of the jury

Cristina Blanaru Creativity, Festivals & Awards

Prague International Advertising Festival (PIAF) is open for entries, that can be submitted until April 4th. This year, the jury of the competition will be headed by Chris Garbutt, Chief Creative Officer Ogilvy France, and will also include among jurors Adrian Botan,  Vicepresident Creative Excelence McCann WorldGroup Central and Eastern Europe, according to festival’s website.

We praise creativity on both sides – clients and agencies. Innovation occurs in media planning, technology, business, design, ATL and BTL.  We feel that traditional categories no longer cover extremely fast development and the addition of new categories and sub-categories only causes price inflation

Marek Hlavica,

Managing Director PIAF.
