We are the first global festival dedicated to creativity, exclusively rewarding messages that seek to awaken a social, civic or environmental consciousness so as to make the world a better place. In order to achieve this goal, we have secured the support of a top-tier academic team, made up of judges from the leading creative agencies from 5 continents as well as top-tier NGO directives.
This is the best opportunity to prove that we are agents of change and that we are much more than just great ideas for companies and advertisers.
Lu´um means “world” or “fertile land” in the Mayan language. This beautiful millennial culture, full of respect and love for the land and its communities, was one of our sources of inspiration for the festival’s image; because, like the Mayans, we also seek fertile ground, to sow positive seeds on a planet that desperately needs them

They always thought that I would be an art director because I drew very well, but just as Rafa Nadal decided to play with his left arm, being right-handed, I decided to be a copywriter.

Not as well as Rafa, of course, but I´ve been working in nice agencies (McCann, BBDO, Leo Burnett…) I’ve won prizes at the most famous festivals and above all, I’ve being happy doing what I like (most important issue).
In those agencies, I managed important accounts such as Hyundai, Kia, Coca Cola, Pepsi, Renault, Repsol, ING, Telefónica, Vodafone, Orange, Iberia, TNT, MTV, 3M... And always with wonderful people from whom I have learned, both in this industry and in life.
Now, I´m ECD at Innocen Spain, and I try to transfer that learning and the passion that I continue to have for this fantastic profession to my team.

Nick Allen
Global Creative Director
CW/McCann
Nick began his career in traffic, routing ads by day and writing spec ones by night when a creative director explained, “the best ideas come out of nowhere.” After working his way into the creative department, he’s been adventuring around the world searching for those ideas and more. Millions of miles later, and countless nights lost, hungry and cold, he is pretty sure he may have misunderstood what that meant.
He has found inspiration everywhere, learned truth is a universal language and discovered the best way to tell a brand’s story is to have plenty of your own.
Nick is currently a Global Creative Director for CW/McCann helping steer Chevrolet around the world while living in the woods of Northern Michigan.

Laura Marco
Executive Creative Director
McCann
I'm Laura Marco. After convincing my mother that it was possible to work without working hours and my father that you don't always work for money there was no way back but to embark on the world of advertising. Now I think, therefore I write. Sometimes simply for the love of writing, but for more than 20 years for commercial purposes, which has led me, after several multinational agencies and large clients from multiple sectors as Honda, Mazda, La Caixa, Nestlé, Mango, Danone, Coca Cola, RB, Puig Fragances, Vueling, Port Aventura, etc. to have a long career at McCann. Currently, I am Executive Creative Director at McCann Barcelona where covid put my new position to the test. So, despite having been with McCann for 16 years now, I feel that this is only the beginning.
