To capitalize the creative energy of this country’s people isn’t easy, but is fabulous when it happens. Therefore, what the Oricum Association is doing is big. They deserve applause. Cannes Lions Romania, through The Alternative School’s projects, has been educating and promoting young Romanian talents outside the country for 10 years now. We know it isn’t easy, that’s why we feel at home at Creative Est #0. It’s great when people that feel and think alike can capitalize an idea. Almost every time, the result is greater than the sum of its parts. Fingers crossed for those that confirmed the participation at Creative Est #0

Teo Migdalovici,
