“The most rewarding part was all the interaction we had with the students – it was incredible to see how excited, involved and curious they were. It was lovely getting all the questions from the teams as it truly showed how invested they are in the process, how well thought through their approach is and how much effort they were putting into the work.”

” The most rewarding part of being an Ad Venture juror was seeing the students present and bring the ideas to life! The passion and dedication they’ve put into the work and into our brand was incredible.

I really appreciated that several teams went above and beyond in terms of collecting data through qualitative interviews à to then build powerful actionable human insights. This is something that many of our external partners won’t always do! They were then able to tie this into a powerful campaign platform, through a very strong story.”

– Julie Veryser, Senior Brand Director, Heinz
