about the jury
After a decade and a half as a creative factotum – switching hats between agencies, production companies, directors, streamers, and the occasional acting gig – Manuel Iljitsch built a career that was as international as it was occasionally award-winning. Then he finally committed to just one business card. And it’s a very tasteful one. In early 2024, after years of collaboration, he joined JOAN Creative as Group Creative Director and helped launch their Berlin office. He now leads global campaigns for clients like eBay, pairing brand thinking with deep understanding of storytelling and craft. Turns out, doing a bit of everything can actually get you somewhere.
