These 33 best European talents of the new generation of European creatives were selected by programme director, Hans-Peter Albrecht, partner and creative director at The Wunderwaffe, ADC Germany member, and ADCE collaborator, who identified the best talents of the new generation of European creatives.
Leading agencies and studios participating include four from Germany – Grabarz & Partner, Serviceplan, Phillipp und Keuntje, and The Wunderwaffe, and three from Spain – Feels Like Studio, Summa, and Morillas.
The young talent will have up to five minutes to present their best work at the auditorium of the DHub in front of the agencies and studios, who will also take the stage to discuss their recruitment methods and hiring requirements. The event will end with a speed-dating session, where the agencies will be able to interview the selected candidates for 10 minutes in order to have a more personal and direct contact.
In addition to the presentations, the event also includes networking activities, and the presentation of the first ADCE Creativity Trend Report, curated by Patrizia Boglione.
The presentations of the young creatives and agencies on May 30 is open to the public, with free access (prior registration required).
