Crenguta Rosu and Jorg Riommi – Romania’s jurors at Eurobest

Cristina Blanaru Creativity, Festivals & Awards

Romania has two representatives in this year’s juries at Eurobest:

  • Crenguta Rosu, Managing Partner at Romanian PR agency DC Communication, represents Romania in Eurobest’s PR Jury
  • Jorg Riommi, Chief Creative Officer Publicis Romania, is Romania’s representative in Eurobest’s Outdoor and Radio Jury
Regarding the appointment of the 2 jurors as representatives of Romanian creative industry within Eurobest jury, Teo Migdalovici, ambassador Lions Festivals in Romania, commented:
2014 is a special year – the first one when, in PR, the selection criteria isn’t related to awards, but by the expertize achieved in over 20 years of career. This is the reason why I proposed Crenguta Rosu to be the juror to represent Romania at Eurobest. When it comes of Jorg, the things are very simple – he performed in Romania, he performed abroad and now he is in the position to show competencies in one of the most valuable agencies in Bucharest. Good luck to both jurors!
A short time ago, Eurobest released the names of the 101 jury members that will be part of the 11 juries at this year’s European Festival of Creativity, scheduled to take place in Helsinki (Sweden) in the beginning of December.
