Taking an overall look, I consider that the entered works, both while it regards the “insight”, the idea, the execution and the level of the study cases, are of a very good quality. Moreover, the jurors were passionate and cerebral at the same time – just a delight to work with them. Therefore, I believe that the marcomm, as business, has a bright future in Romania
