ADC*RO School: Class of 2020 & New Beginnings
ADC Romania celebrates the end of the 12th edition of ADC*RO School Thursday, June 11th, from 19:30. Called New Beginnings, the event will include the graduation ceremony followed by a panel talk – both of them broadcasted live on the ADC Romania Facebook page.
What did the 12th edition mean for the 30 alumni can be summarized as: four months of ongoing creativity, two weekly meetings, 10 mentors and over 15 tutoring sessions. At the end, their creative effort is translated in a portfolio including 7 briefs, one for each communication channel: Key Visual, Outdoor & Ambient, Video, Radio, Promo & Activation, Digital and Integrated Campaign. The portfolios are evaluated by their mentors in order to establish a final ranking, the Top 10 students and the valedictorian of the 2020 Class of ADC*RO School.
The graduation ceremony where we will find out the ranking and the head of the class of the 12th edition, will be presented by Laura Nedelschi (Independent Creative Director) and Șerban Alexandrescu (Associate & Executive Creative Director Headvertising) – also mentors of ADC*RO School.
In the words of Laura Nedelschi: “The 2020 edition of ADC*RO School was not short of surprises – like most of our existence these months. I am even more proud of the students for overcoming all the challenges, but I am also proud of ourselves, the ones that were in charge of the ADC*RO School, that we were able to keep close all the students scattered all over the country.
The surprises do not stop here, and what seemed a downside of the ceremony – canceling the traditional gathering held at The Institute, at the beginning of summer, where the newly graduates met the older generations, having drinks in the sound of applause – came to be what can be considered the most visible ADC*RO School ceremony from its history.
The graduation ceremony will be followed by a panel about what is to be expected in the future for the graduates but also for the whole industry. I can’t wait for this talk, I am sure it will be an electric one, a roller-coaster of questions and sensations which will have us experience hope as well as discouragement, bravery on one side and precaution on the other side. In two words: New Beginnings. Join us online Thursday, from 7:30 PM, at facebook/ADCROMANIA.”
The panel talk will be moderated by Valentin Suciu (Creative Director, Jazz Communication & President of ADC*RO), and will have as guests: Ivo Purvis (Executive Creative Director, MSTF Partners Lisboa), Mihnea Gheorghiu (Global Executive Creative Director, Publicis Italy) and Sorin Trâncă (Founder, FRIENDS TBWA Bucharest & FFFF.ro).

Sorin started as a copywriter, then he became an awarded copywriter. Then, he became a creative director that was good enough to start a competent agency.

After he did this, he co-founded some other cool things, like Omniconvert, and wrote a book that aims to help beginners understand creative work better.
