Veronica Savanciuc,

President & CEO Lowe Group Romania

In just 2 generations, advertising evolved from classifieds to sell one’s truck to an extremely sophisticated and versatile form to change perceptions and habits. I think our generation of communicators is both the luckier and the one facing the most challenges. I see the development opportunity and a huge potential in our creative agencies and my new role is to materialize and intensify that. I will have close to me the best and most passionate people and the most perfectionist clients, therefor I expect a galvanic journey
