“I have heard incredible things about Ad Stars, and my friend Eugene Cheong [CCO of Ogilvy & Mather, Asia Pacific & Singapore] has always told me I should judge it one day. As a global awards show with a unique mandate to support the creative industries by inviting everyone to enter their work for free, I think it is going to be an interesting show to judge. Plus, I have never been to South Korea and I only hear great things,” Ramos stated.
Ramos left Brazil at the age of 24 to work at Y&R Lisbon, Madrid and Miami, and Lowe New York. He returned to Brazil in 2007 as chief creative officer of Ogilvy & Mather Brazil. In 2010, the agency became the most awarded agency in the O&M network.
“We are honoured that one of the world’s most inspiring creatives has accepted our invitation to join Ad Stars as an executive judge,” stated Eui Ja Lee, co-chairperson of the Ad Stars executive committee.
“Ramos is a passionate leader whose insights will add so much value to our team of judges this year, we are so pleased he has accepted our invitation to visit Busan in August.”
Co-chairperson Hwan Jin Choi added, “We are celebrating an important milestone this year as Ad Stars celebrates its 10th anniversary, so we are especially happy that Anselmo is joining us this year. His passion for advertising will inspire professionals from around the region.”
