Hope you enjoy it…

AdWomen- Which quality is the most important to reach the top in this industy? #WFCD

Suzana Apelbaum- It’s a mix. But you have to have passion and curiosity. Passion will make sure you’ll be happy even with so many difficulties. And curiosity will keep your mind and eyes open to interesting things that will inspire and keep your work always fresh and original #WFCD

WFCD- What kind of difficulties have you suffered?? #WFCD

Suzana Apelbaum- One example: clients always say they want to innovate. So you work hard and come up with really good ideas and work hard for them but they are not really ready to innovate or take the risks we’d need to make the innovation happen. #WFCD

AdWomen- Which campaign would you say you have done it with more passion? #WFCD

Suzana Apelbaum- #WFCD I do all my work in passion. But the one I did with even more passion was to build my own agency. It was a camapign for Gradiente, an interactive series, I wrote the scripts and even directed the actor who was playing the main role #WFCD
