“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.
