Antonio Vincenti, Chairman & CEO of Pikasso, was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the World Out of Home Organization (WOO) Annual Congress, held in London during the Gala Dinner in presence of 800 participants.

The award was presented by Tom Goddard, President of WOO, who said in his introduction note:

"Lifetime Achievement, in a vintage year, should be reserved for legends and we certainly have one this year. For 40 years our worthy recipient has been running his highly successful Out of Home business. He has also been navigating the ups and downs of running a business in what is a very difficult, and at times, dangerous operating environment. Just one of those tasks would keep most of us busy. He was one of the Presidents of FEPE International before it became WOO and could not have been more generous and helpful as we transitioned. He is someone I genuinely admire. Ladies and gentlemen, this year’s winner of the Lifetime Achievement Award: Antonio Vincenti of Pikasso."

Receiving the award Antonio Vincenti declared:

“I am honored, humbled, and deeply touched, by the words of President Tom Goddard, and profoundly grateful to the members of the WOO Jury for this most prestigious recognition, which came as a complete surprise. By way of coincidence, I did attend my second FEPE / WOO Congress in 1989, in this very same room of the Hilton Park Lane, where the Congress is being held today.”

He later further stated:

“This Lifetime Achievement Award comes at a particularly symbolic moment, as Pikasso marks 40 years since its establishment in 1986. I am immensely proud to have spent four decades contributing to an industry that continues to inspire creativity, that serves as a medium for good, and that is essential to brand building and brand trust around the world - and In the Real World.

This award belongs not only to me, but also to the many colleagues who have been part of this journey over the years; to our stakeholders, media agencies, and landlords, whose trust and partnership have been instrumental to the development of Pikasso; and to my spouse and children, whose unwavering support has meant everything to me.”
