Running for the EDCOM Ad Venture, and competing with schools from all over the world, was the highlight of my year. Throughout the months, feedbacks and hard work, we managed to design a campaign for a meaningful NGO, which I believe is what drove us and kept us motivated all along. Knowing that our work had a purpose and touched on key issues in our society made us all very proud.

Participating in the 2024 Ad Venture Competition has been one of the best decisions We’ve made last year. Whether it’s the months of preparation in Paris, the excitement and stress to present to the jury in London or the wonderful memories made at the International Festival of Creativity in Cannes, this experience ended up being full of challenges and rewards. It’s all about preparation, truly believing in the work you’ve put in as a group and giving your best on jury’s day because no matter the outcome, pride in the team’s effort is what matters most! I would say to future participants to have fun, that’s where the best ideas come from.
