The Romanian contenders for a Lion are:

All the works Romanian agencies and companies are participating with at this year’s edition of Cannes Lions will be presented during the 3rd edition of RUN Project – Romanian Agencies for Cannes, a project made by Cannes Lions Romania, IAA and UAPR. RUN Project will take place on June 12th, starting 19.00, at IAA House. At the event there will be present Johan Ohlson (creative director Saatchi&Saatchi) and Catalin Dobre (Executive Creative Director McCann), winners of important prizes in 2012, that will comment on the challenges Cannes Lions raises.

During RUN, there will be projected movies and analyzed all entries from Romanian agencies in festival’s different sections: Cyber Lions, Design, Direct Lions, Film, Innovation Lions, Media Lions, Promo & Activation, PR Lions, Press Lions, Radio Lions, Outdoor, Titanium and Integrated.

 Organizing, for the 3rd time in the row, of  RUN Project by Cannes Lions Romania and IAA Romania contributes to stimulating the creative effervescence needed to increase Romanian creativity standards. Year after year, the results aren’t late to appear and we trust this year more agencies will come with Lions at home. Success to the Romanian agencies in Cannes

Felix Tataru,

Global VP IAA

Romania shined in Cannes during the last years and, in 2013, nothing should be different. We got accustomed to it now, RUN project offers a preview of the potential winner and this brings a plus of emotion before the official announcements to take place during festival’s galas, in less than 2 weeks

Radu Florescu,

UAPR President .

During less than 10 years, Romania had only 2 delegates at the festival, no entries, no juror and no competitor. In 2013, at the 60th edition of the festival and 8 years after the launch of Cannes Lions office in Romania, we have a very beautiful story to tell – another year with a record number of entries -106, a history of nomination and selecting jurors and a cluster of agencies that perform on annual basis
