Tizzy Zoelfikar
Deputy COO Media Services, DMP communications, IndonesiaIt was an honor and a great experience to be involved in the Red Apple Festival as an International Jury member. In terms of the submission entries that I had to judge, it was a valuable experience and a great learning opportunity to review all the submissions. I also had the chance to discover new platforms, or ones that are not widely used here but are very popular in the Russian market.

Executive Creative Content Director, Mercado McCann, ArgentinaIt was very enriching to get to know the ideas of the young talents and to be able to debate with colleagues from all over the world. Once again, we realized that creativity and design are capable of bridging distances, overcoming frontiers and proving that we are closer than we think. I had a great time!

Ciro Ribeiro Rocha
Founder & CEO, Enredo Brand Innovation, BrazilRed Apple wasn’t just about campaigns or projects; it was about showcasing courage—the courage to tell stories that matter, to take risks that inspire, and to push boundaries that others avoid. In a world that often feels divided, this festival proved that creativity is the thread that binds us all. It's deeply touching.
Juan Cardenas
Vice President Creative, VML, ColombiaRed Apple is undoubtedly a very interesting festival that allowed me to discover how communication is understood in Eastern Europe. I was greatly impressed by the level of audiovisual production as well as the digital craftsmanship evident in many of the ideas I had the opportunity to judge. In terms of messages, I found it particularly interesting and inspiring to see a lot of work aimed at promoting culture, education, and domestic tourism. This is something that many countries should strive to promote in a similar way.

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.

Anish Varghese
Founder & COO, EVOQ Creative ExperiencesTo 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!
