Advertising’s brilliant minds are coming to iCEE.fest 2017

Just like every year, the festival that brings to Bucharest the giants of global technology has an important section dedicated to creativity and those that come up with ideas that generate emotions in the online. iCEE.fest 2017 brings alongside them experts that nurture creativity for the organisations that constantly need new ideas in order to evolve.

Dave Birss, Founder and Editor @ OpenForIdeas.org

After 19 years spent in key positions within major creative agencies, Dave now writes for OpenForIdeas and offers advice in the practical creativity area. ”The creative management blues” – a presentation that will combine ideas with music and ”If creativity is the answer, the question is wrong” are the two special sessions that Dave will hold on the Upgrade stage of iCEE.fest. Marcus Wilding, Managing Partner/ Client Leader @ Mindshare Marcus will be talking, among others, about “Image_Hack”, an initiative started by Mindshare for Unilever, which wants to change the ”Photoshop regime” and stereotypes that have been hovering on women in media and marketing. Here is the story:
