Kateřina Huňová and Hana Kundrátová from the TBU Faculty of Multimedia Communications achieved the greatest success of Czech advertising in the post-revolutionary period, and that in Cannes (France). In the Young Lions Competition intended for younger generation interested in creativity in communications, they took gold in the Media category. Both of them recent graduates from the degree programme in Marketing Communications, they beat 21 international teams that participated in the competition.

Both students repeated their result achieved in the Czech national round. The task in the final round was to develop a communication strategy for the non-profit organization “The International Exchange”. The team of TBU students designed a concept which can also be used as a means of internal communication in the relevant company.
