After Creative LIAisons:

Thank you for the amazing experience. The talks were interesting and insightful and I can really take something out of them for my career. And especially meeting all of those creatives from all over the world is a memory I won’t forget. Also, I enjoyed Vegas much more than I thought I would. I hope you keep doing this program for years to come - and hopefully we can send someone else from our agency next year. So thank you very much for everything and I hope one day I can return as a judge to this wonderful award.

Before Creative LIAisons:

1. Prior to being chosen to participate in this program, what did you know or hear about the LIA Creative LIAisons program?

A very close colleague of mine attended LIAisons last year. He reported great conversations, meeting interesting creatives from different parts of the world and an overall very inspiring visit.

2. How did you feel when you were chosen to participate in Creative LIAisons, an exclusive program of 100 attendees aged 21 – 30 from around the world?

Delighted and scared. Delighted, because it's a great opportunity to have such a close and intimate look into one of the most important awards worldwide. Scared, because I’m a subpar poker player, so Las Vegas might be a dangerous place for me.

3. When sitting in on statue discussion judging what do you hope to learn?

I had the honor to be on domestic juries, but never on an International one, so I am very interested to learn how to judge ideas for different markets and cultures, ones I might not be so familiar with.
