Lisbon International Ad Festival names Ahmed as president

The Lisbon International Advertising Festival has announced that Ajaz Ahmed, founder and CEO of AKQA, will be the president of this year’s Executive Jury Panel. 

2018 will be the third edition of the Lisbon Advertising Festival, whose aim is to award the best work in the world, but also the best work in each region. Ahmed follows in the footsteps of two other esteemed advertising professionals who took up the president role at the event; Washington Olivetto in 2016 and Jacques Séguéla in 2017.

Ahmed, whose clients at AKQA include Nike, the BBC and Rolls Royce, and who is the co-author of two best selling books, Velocity and Limitless, will attend this year’s event in Lisbon to share his thoughts, insights and entrepreneurial experiences at the conference with attendees.
