Says Peter Grasse, Curious Film EP: “We are extremely proud to take home the title of Production Company of the Year. To see our work stand up alongside the world’s best on the big screen was thrilling! Its a testament of our team’s unbridled creativity and emphasis on quality execution.”

 

Ciclope is the only international festival dedicated to the “craft” skills in advertising. Unlike most advertising festivals, the festival focuses on the art of execution rather than the agency idea; with the mantra that a good execution is as important as the idea, and extremely determinant for the consumer´s experience.
