February 2, 2010
On Wednesday, February 24, the lecture "The Profession Comes from Within" was held in the Auditorium of the School of Communication and Design. The speaker was Felipe Stein, founder and co-director of Notable Publicidad, an agency that won the Grand Effie Award in 2009—the top prize in the competition recognizing advertising effectiveness. He is a faculty member at the School of Communication and Design.

The speaker described the current state of the advertising industry, highlighting the opportunities and challenges it presents for younger generations.

According to a survey by Equipos/Mori, advertisers consider the speaker to be one of the two most highly regarded creatives in the Uruguayan market. He served as president of Desachate, Uruguay’s leading advertising conference, and as a judge at the Ojo de Iberoamérica, the Wave Festival in Rio de Janeiro, and the Montreux Festival in Switzerland. Endeavor named him Speaker of the Year twice, and his presentation at the International Marketers Congress received the highest audience vote. He recently spoke at the Brand Trends Congress in Spain, organized by the Cardenal Herrera University in Valencia, and at the Complutense University of Madrid, invited by the Spanish Creative Club. He has presented at various universities, forums, conferences, and foundations.
