VISION TIM
Move me, surprise me, rend my heart; make me tremble, weep, shudder; outrage me. Move me, man.
If you are striving for creative excellence, let me suggest you tell your left brain to take a break now and then. And give your right brain permission to let all hell break loose. Because creative excellence is never a formula. It’s not mathematics. It’s jazz.
Make me feel something. Whatever it is.
MEET THE JURY - CLASSIC
VISION STEFAN
I’m looking for work that says something with substance, something that will inform and serve the consumer, and be sure you’re saying it like it’s never been said before. And I don't want to compare ads to ads. I want the work to be judged to everything that is out there. Pop culture, art, music, movies, books and dad jokes.
