In: Cannes Lions| events
11 Jan 2010Cannes Lions has announced that its prices for 2010 will be frozen at 2009 levels. Like every trade fair, Cannes Lions saw a drop in attendance last year. But there are already questions as to whether a price freeze will be enough to win back participants. When the effects of music “sharing” hit the music [...]

23 Dec 2009Midem is just around the corner, with news, new speakers, lots of companies and individuals bringing new ideas. We’ll be following them closely.
We’re also already getting news from people preparing for the Cannes Film Festival in May. Sounds like a good time to start getting the relevant news straight to your desk rather than coming [...]
Politics pick up awards at Cannes Lions
In: Cannes Lions| awards
29 Jun 2009Politics is generally the very last subject that is talked about at Cannes. So I was surprised to find that two political campaigns left Cannes with trophies to put on their mantelpieces. Barrack Obama’s presidential campaign picked up two awards for its combination of new media, door-to-door and grass roots campaigning along with highly tactical [...]

21 May 2009The Cannes Lions has to be one of the most expensive events in Cannes, with the entrance fee of $3500 being the biggest chunk. After also spending to enter some work in one of the categories, it might be an idea to go easy on the hotels. We have good and bad news. First the [...]
Cannes Lions: What are you missing?
In: Cannes Lions
15 Jun 2008The annual advertising get-together is often portrayed as a gigantic piss-up (excuse my French). But there are nonetheless lots of events there worth a spin. I just checked out the seminar programme here. A few things caught my eye: notably the much-maligned Rupert Murdoch in conversation with Y&R; a talk titled “A day in the [...]

Cannes Lions: "Should we laugh? Should we whistle?"
In: Cannes Lions
20 Jun 2007Interesting post from an assistant brand manager of Campbell Company of Canada. Although largely an agency get-together, some brands send teams to Cannes to check the latest trends. Nicolle Nordmann, I must say, seems to be doing it diligently (remember what I said yesterday: some people come to work) as she has been sitting through [...]
Cannes Lions: Behind the noise, real talk
In: Cannes Lions
18 Jun 2007From running Cannes or Bust for some time now, I can see a very definite pattern. Journalists globally feel obliged to mention the parties, the beach and the excess. It’s as if editors worldwide wouldn’t believe people come here for something other than a “jolly”. But I’ve got news for them: work does actually get [...]
