“17th KIAF returned to the more traditional appearance of contests and the main reason is connected with the ordering of contest categories according to the leading international festivals (Cannes Lions, primarily). In addition, the list of advertising contests and categories of KIAF is the need to establish a closer dialogue between agencies and advertisers. KIAF takes place at a very convenient time, on the eve of the season of the major client of creative pitches. But for advertisers, it is very important to choose an agency for the widest range of tasks. If we give the customer the expanded matrix of observations, he will have more opportunities to get to know more successful agencies and their best practices,” – it was said by director of the festival Maksym Lazebnyk.
17th KIAF will hold two days — 26-27 May, 2016. The program will include Best Marketing Practices conference with participation of industry leaders and leading Ukrainian and international experts of the advertising market. KIAF will end with the Awards Ceremony.
