When it comes to D&AD Awards, the festival offers recognition to the creative ideas, executed exceptionally. Damaschin will be a juror in the PR category alongside representatives of the industry in countries such as UK, Spain, Australia. The festival will choose its winners on 24-26 April, in London.

“D&AD Awards is an iconic festival, with extremely high standards, fantastic ideas and executions close to perfection. A Black Pencil represents an idea that has never been seen before, that leaves you speechless, just like that, a recognition that not many of the world’s creatives have on their portfolio. It’s a great honor to be alongside my colleagues in the international communication industry and to award not only the most creative ideas in the world, but also the most rigorous and precise created ones,” said Damaschin.

With 19 years of experience in communication, Damaschin is at the moment one of the most known and appreciated professionals in Romania. After years of advertising, in agencies such as D’Arcy, Saatchi & Saatchi and Lowe, where she coordinated tens of integrated communication projects for international and local brands, she entered the PR world first as managing director, than as a partner at Rogalski Damaschin Public Relations.
