Jury

"Typical example of how you used to become a copywriter. You did about a half dozen other things before you first considered advertising. In this case: psychology student, flight attendant, music journalist, DJ. First started writing copy in 1993. Somehow managed to remain a sane and friendly person even after more than 20 years in advertising. Ogilvy, Burnett, Saatchi, Publicis, McCann, Havas. Truly international soul, working in Germany (born there too), Turkey (until Gezi Park), Switzerland, Georgia (now). Finally found the perfect job as CEO of Leavingstone, a creative digital company in Tbilisi, Georgia. Proud alumnus of the Berlin School of Creative Leadership. Teacher, writer, lecturer and lifelong learner. And still DJing."
