The Gala will focus on the first insights from the first round of judging from the jurors, moderators & Organizing Comittee members; they will share with the audience examples of strong points, weak points and recommendations for the judged campaigns and the industry.

Effie Talk – Karel Vinck – “Creative Effectiveness., why it will be increasingly important.”

After announcing the nominees, Karel Vinck will explain why the Effie awards will become increasingly more important in the future.  In a world where digital solutions create the illusion that they can replace creativity, the Effie award winners are more than ever relevant. He believes that they are the ideal platform for agencies to prove year after year that it is still strong creative strategy that has the biggest impact on consumers.

Karel Vinck is Chief Digital Brands of Publicis One Belgium and since 2004 managing director of Duval Guillaume.

Duval Guillaume has been awarded Belgian Agency of the Year in 2008 and 2012, Digital Agency of the Year in 2010 , 2011 and 2012, Creative Agency of the Year in 2011, 2012 and 2013 and Cannes Media Agency of the Year in 2012.

In 2016 it has won 1 gold and 2 bronze at Cannes Festival and a Silver Award at the Belgian Effie awards. He is also vice-president of the Belgian Effie jury 2016.
