Slovenia's new Golden Drum seeks to inspire

The Slovenian Advertisers' Association (SOZ) held the 23rd edition of their flagship event, Golden Drum, an annual international festival of creativity in the heart of Slovenia that aims to inspire both established and young European creatives.

The four-day festival welcomed 40 international speakers, including Cindy Gallop, founder and CEO of IfWeRanTheWorld and MakeLoveNotPorn, as the keynote speaker. She gave a talk entitled "How to change the world through advertising" on how the ad industry can reinvent itself to leverage "The New Creativity".



The festival ended with the most anticipated event, the Golden Drum Award Ceremony. A total of 15 Grand Prix, 42 Golden Drums and 72 Silver Drums were given to the best works entered in this year's competition. Russia's Ural Music Night Festival won the Golden Drum Brand Grand Prix Award for their entry "Listen to me" while agency Leo Burnett Beirut received the Good Cause Grand Prix Award for their powerful Cannes Lions-winning campaign "Legally Bride".
