THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT US

Hande Arslan

Founder and Executive Creative Director, Uber

The president of jury was not only me, but us. We handpicked some great social responsible campaigns about freedom of the press and human rights. Once again I realized and trusted that we need to speak up louder and clearer for social responsible campaigns.

Anish Varghese

Founder & COO, EVOQ Creative Experiences

To be honest, it is a completely different jury experience for unfamiliar Russian culture and regional nuances. Having said that, I had excellent discussions with my fellow jury members in order to choose the best creative pieces from Russia for the 32nd Red Apple International Advertising Festival. Thank you very much, Red Apple!

Hatem Mohamed

Creative Director, ADPRO OMD Amman

Done, it was a great experience meeting with the other jury members and go through the cases, discussing the work and see different perspectives, thank you International Advertising Festival Red Apple for the opportunity, and all the good luck.

This year's festival was judged by a jury from 30 countries, so it is 30 times more pleasant to be recognised by experts not only from Russia, but also from abroad. We took part in four nominations in 3 categories (Marketing, Creative, Media) and were shortlisted in all of them.

Ohmybrand

At the Red Apple awards ceremony, we found out that we had won silver in the Labelling and Packaging category. We received the award for our work on the Wellbee brand.

It was our first time getting a prize at Red Apple, which is very pleasing.

Shreyas Sathe

Managing Director and Co-founder, Hybrid INSEA

The organization was great, the warm welcome that I received being a foreigner, also the opening party was so cool. I found that Russian advertising is evolving in a dynamic way after fb/google left. It's great to see brands and agencies are adapting and evolving.

Yes definitely I would love to come again.

Lulo Calio

Founding Partner and Chief Creative Officer, Togetherwith

My experience at the Red Apple International Advertising Forum was genuinely enriching and exceeded my expectations. The forum created an invaluable space for professionals from diverse backgrounds to converge, share perspectives, and engage in meaningful dialogue about the evolving landscape of the advertising industry. This exchange of ideas is crucial for fostering innovation and understanding emerging trends.
