Monika Farkašová (from agency Triad) has won the Young Lions so I'm now calling her World Champion because "Winner" is boring. 
The Young Lions takes the best young talent from around the world and pits them against each other in a ferocious battle of minds for 24 hours in Cannes every June. 
David Cerveny (from agency Zaraguza) is a frequent contender in this battle as well having represented the Czech Republic several times. He has his eyes on the big prize and the new title WORLD CHAMPION.
In this episode, we discuss what it's like to compete in the Young Lions competition as well as the advertising markets in Slovakia and the Czech Republic.

Top Ten Strategist Traits - Live From Hell's Kitchen

Alexandre Kazuo Kubo and Lucas Ribeiro are Associate Creative Directors at McCann New York. Recently, they published a guide on having and expressing award-winning advertising ideas.
It's relatively rare for employed big-agency creatives to publish like this so I took the opportunity to get them to talk us through their free guide while forcing them to indulge me in my love of Brazil and Brazil funk.


Their guide is here:
