For most of us, it’s safe to say 2020 hasn’t turned out as planned.
Whole countries are in lockdown, weddings are being cancelled and international travel is all but a distant memory at this point.
And for many advertising and marketing folk around the world, plans of sipping rosé and rubbing shoulders with the brightest minds in the industry in the South of France during this year’s Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity have gone down the drain.
But rather than letting Cannes 2020 fade into a memory we had an idea.
As the official Cannes Lions Festival representative for Australia, this year we will be hosting ‘Cannes unCanned’, as a way to keep the festival’s creativity alive.
Presented by Adobe and brought to you live and exclusive right here on B&T, the online event will take place over the same week the festival was set to run (22-26 June 2020) and will even include some of the headline speakers that were due to take stage.
Speakers include:
- S4 Capital executive chairman Sir Martin Sorrell
- The Marketing Academy founder & global CEO Sherilyn Shackell
- Droga5 founder & creative chairman David Droga
- Burger King global chief marketing officer Fernando Machado
- BMF group creative director Pia Chaudhuri
- Facebook creative strategist Carmela Soares
- DDB Sydney chief creative officer and Communications Council Australia board member Tara Ford
- Cannes Lions account management & customer lead Nic Lobo
- Web Profits head of growth Tam Al-Saad
- Google Creative Lab independent creative director Tea Uglow
While we can’t offer you the picturesque backdrop of the French Riviera, we can give you access to these fantastic speakers for free.
As it is a tricky time for many businesses, we thought it was important to make the event available to everyone. A big thank you to our sponsors for making this possible.
