Paris, France
1991 - Present (33 years 10 months)
Epica stood for European Premier Creative Awards (www.epica-awards.com), but has now turned into a fully fledged world advertising award. Compared to all other similar festivals, it is unique in that all of the jury members are professional journalists from some 30+ trade press titles.
I have been part of the Epica Jury since I started working for Strategia, and keep on being a member even now at ADC.

Strategia (Strategia Editoriale srl)
January 1991 - July 2005 (14 years 6 months)
I started writing occasionally for Strategia in 1988, while still attending a Tv journalism course at Istituto Superiore di Comunicazione Milan (then part of IED - Istituto Europeo di Design). My work for the magazine gradually increased, and I started off in 1991 being responsible for the "Giro d'Italia" section, reporting on the advertising market scene from Italy's counties and districts. After an ownership and management shift, in November 1996, I was formally employed there for the first time as a "practising journalist", and after the compulsory 2 years period I passed my state exams in January 1999.
Starting with 2001, with the title of "capo servizio", I also became responsible for Strategia's online activities and our bi-weekly email newsletter.
