Advertising Week Europe Highlights - Top 10 Quotes

Ad Week Europe has come to a close for 2018 and what a week it was. Over 200 talks and 10,000 people enjoying them every day. Inspiring, insightful, motivational and at times controversial are just some of the adjectives I would use to describe the week. Whist my fuzzy head (of course there were parties!) digests the key learnings and takeaways I thought I would share my favourite ten quotes from the week:
