The Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival is more important than ever. In a sliding economy, marketers had to accomplish more with dipping budgets. So, this year’s Festival will show how creativity can adapt, and even thrive, in this new economy.
From June 20-27, the town of Cannes will transform itself into a metropolis of advertising. Delegates from 90 countries will attend seminars, workshops, and address the topics and issues that will point the way forward for our industry. And, of course, the power of creativity will be celebrated with the awarding of the coveted Cannes Lions.
