We’re just days away from the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity – the most anticipated awards show in the industry. Once again, The Globe and Mail will be on the ground, decoding the global trends, bold ideas and breakthrough creativity shaping the future of marketing and advertising.
As Canada’s Official Festival Representative for Cannes Lions for the past 20 years, we’re proud to bring this coverage to life. Through daily dispatches and expert commentary, our goal is to help Canadian marketers make sense of what’s happening on the world stage – and what it means for our industry.
If you’ll be in Cannes, don’t forget to RSVP to our annual Canada Party on Thursday June 19.
Ahead of the Festival, we kicked off our celebrations here in Canada. The Globe hosted a Young Lions bootcamp to prepare this year’s Canadian Gold winners heading to Cannes to compete globally. We also brought the community together at our Pre-Cannes Party in Toronto – an evening of celebration with Canadian Awarding and Shortlist jury members, Young Lions, industry partners and brand leaders.
See below for photos from the party.
From June 16 – 21, follow our daily content across IG, LI, X – including articles, POVs, session takeaways, trend breakdowns and live photo highlights from the Croisette.
Later this summer, we’ll continue the conversation with interviews from Canadian jurors, Young Lions and delegates sharing reflections on the year’s Festival. You can find that and more here on our Cannes Lions hub.
