The Prague International Advertising Festival will be held in the last week of May 2015. The announcement was published today along with the final ranking for PIAFYS 2013/4. The entire season, concluded by this year’s Cannes Lions, was led by the two Australian creatives John Mescall and Pat Baron from McCann Australia.
Surprisingly, the usual American and European representatives are missing from this year’s Top 10. Traditionally strong Brazilians are accompanied by creatives from Japan and Dubai. Thanks to the award-winning campaign for the John Lewis brand, 3 creatives from the agency Adam & Eve DDB made it to the top 10. The closest European – Chris Garbut from Ogilvy France – holds the 13th position.
PIAFYS is the widest global creative ranking, it takes into account the results of 27 international creative competitions. It currently contains 3225 names of creatives from all over the world. Each season ends with the Cannes Lions. The 2014/15 ranking is currently on-going, its status will be updated and published online on piafawards.com in the next weeks.
One of the included festivals is Prague’s PIAF. It will take place the last week of May 2015. The final jury will be announced early next year.
