The industry needs young professionals with a fresh vision and I’m glad to see that the new generation is increasingly attracted to brands that rely on brave communication. Advertising Unplugged aims to bring this side of the industry to the fore, delve into the challenges it faces and help advertising enthusiasts understand what each role entails, so they can then specialize in a certain area”, says Gabriel Eremia.
