In the lead up to the big event, Cannes Lions is exploring the real stories behind Lion winning work, and what truly goes into making a moment that pushes society, business, and creativity forward.

From getting sacked, to developing the line, to figuring out how to reinvent it for new platforms and technologies, BBDO Worldwide has advice for anybody looking to create work that seems to transcend time and space.
