Being part of the Jury of the Digital Communication Awards is a unique opportunity to review the crème de la crème of digital projects coming from all over the continent. It goes beyond awarding prizes - it is about interacting with incredibly talented individuals and teams from both agencies, companies and public organisations. A terrific experience, both from the professional and personal points of view.
