PIAF announces Programme!
Prague, 18/4/2013 – The programme of the professional conference of the Prague International Advertising Festival is official. The Public’s Interest is on the first day’s agenda while emotions will take over the second. The competition deadline has been extended until April 25th.
It is the third year in a row that PIAF will be busting at the seams with a jam-packed line up of representatives from marketing and advertising communities from all over the world.
„We are so excited to have emotions in advertising represented at this year’s PIAF. Emotions rule our world and our industry and we need to learn to what extent, why and how to work with them to our advantage. Our goal is to evoke emotions – passion, fire, love, enthusiasm and provoke people to show spontaneous but controlled reactions. We will show attendees how to build strong emotional bonds between brands and customers. PIAF boasts emotions from all points of view, all day long,” says Marek Hlavica, the festival’s Managing Director.
Come see what the greats such Adrian Botan (Vice President Creative Excellence McCann Worldgroup Eastern and Central Europe, Romania), Christoph Nann (Executive Creative Director Serviceplan, Germany), and the client reps – Alexander Matt (Global Brand Marketing Director Adidas, Germany), Serdar Ekrem Sirin (Advertising Director Turkish Airlines, Turkey), and Sebastian Billing (Global Communication Director Absolut Vodka, Sweden) are going to teach us at www.piafawards.com.
Entries can be submitted up until 25 April and the shortlists will be announced in the middle of May. PIAF will announce winners on 22 May at the end of the two-day PIAF conference at the National Gallery in Prague.
