Let's just look past how young I look compared to the Santa-in-waiting I see when I now look in the mirror. I want to tell you a story... These are the MBNA geeks - the centre piece of a major rebrand we launched (with loads of help from TBWA\MCR) back in 2015. It was great work, and helped to supercharge MBNA brand recognition. But, that's not the story. Fast forward to a year later, and to mark the launch of the second phase of the campaign (which saw Jenny Monks buy a van - more on that another time), we bring the geeks into the MBNA head office in Chester to meet the broader team. It was a great day, with the geeks hamming it up for the staff, and generally being wonderful. To launch the campaign internally, I'm joined on stage by Paul Sinclair. The event is screened throughout the building - so about 2,000 people watching. Paul and I tag-team on telling the story behind the work, before sharing the ad and bringing the geeks out on stage. It was a great event. The only issue: as I walk off stage, feeling pretty bloody good about the event - one we (or, more accurately, Jenny Monks) had carefully managed down to the last detail - I realise that I was given a gift by my 4 year-old daughter before I left for work. A fairy sticker had been deposited on my arse, and as a 'walker' when presenting, it had 100% been visible to those even without a keen eye. The lesson: always check your arse before walking on stage. #presentation #arse #fairy 📸 by me, with fairy out of view

THE ROAD TO CANNES 2025 While Cannes 2024 has just been wrapped up, it is important to note that creatives and agencies have begun their journey to the next Cannes. In this weekly series, we will shed a spotlight on the different Cannes winning campaigns that have truly stood out to us. Erase Valentine’s Day- Mondelēz International x Ogilvy While half the world celebrates Valentines day with a smile, there is a large portion who steer in the opposite direction. And 𝐂𝐚𝐝𝐛𝐮𝐫𝐲 5-𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫, year after year has been there for the people who are anti-Valentines Day. Whether it was by creating a “𝐌𝐮𝐬𝐡 𝐃𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫” that warns you of oncoming cringe or the 𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐛𝐢 where they took over an island and created it as the perfect alibi. Now 5-𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫 has gone a step above and just, you know, casually, erase Valentines Day as a whole. With the help of Nambi Narayanan, a “Legendary Space Scientist”, came up with a concept in which a ship would travel against time (sorry, science is a little hard to explain in a single post) and essentially for the three people on the ship, Valentine’s day would never have existed. And all they have done is eat 5-star, and do nothing. A massive salute to the team at Ogilvy Mumbai for reiterating how important it is to keep things light and fun with a campaign and how that can resonate with all the single folks. A meta idea brought to reality. Just wow. Shoutout to Harshad Rajadhyaksha | sukesh nayak | Kainaz Karmakar ! Karunasagar Sridharan | Krishnakant Mishra | Prem Narayan | Nitin Saini | Sidharth Singh 🚀 Thank you for upping the fun in advertising to a whole new level. Cannot wait for you concoct the next Valentines day. Tell us your thoughts on this campaign in the comments and gear up for the next Cannes winner next week.

Top Tips for #Cannes? Look no further. Our CSO Mel Arrow gives MoreAboutAdvertising the run down of what campaigns she believes will bag some Lions in just a few weeks time. "No article about Cannes 2024 would be complete without saying the word ‘humour’ as quickly as possible, and it only took me thirteen words, so arguably, I should win something for that. With the introduction of a new humour category, the world’s most prestigious advertising awards appear to be encouraging the industry out of its purpose-filled era (and boy has it been a long one…) and into a lighter chapter. Our chortle era, if you will. With that said, however, it’s probably quite telling that only one of my picks is funny. There’s been a lot of humour talk, and not a lot of funny trousers. The others do, at least, still shun purpose. They’re bold, single-minded, iconic and unapologetically branded. C’est simple. In fact, it’s so simple, I feel almost exactly the same way about them all.."

Thank you Festival of Media for an amazing opportunity to be a part of the judging panel for the 2024 awards! After reading countless global entries, scoring them, watching case study videos over six hours, and having a spirited dialogue on brand work, here is what I took away: 1. There is an art to debating with people - It's a conversational sparring match in which intellectual intentions yield respectful disagreements and civil resolutions. 2. Human truths add meaning to lifeless products - Not every product from a brand has a needed purpose in our lives. The products aren't the star of the lifestyle show we all individually star in ("Previously on Being Me") and often need an injection of humanity to make it make sense. 3. Internal bias is a reflection of our absorbed experiences - That voice inside your head, the internal dialogue and debate you have within yourself to be heard, to be right, to be loudest, to be fastest, to be better, to be smarter, CONSTANTLY needs to be checked. Shelving my psychological proclivities in place of the actual definition of the award category being judged and listening to my gut instinct when it comes to inclusivity and marginalized experiences being catapulted into the mainstream via advertising. 4. The global outlook on life > the local lens on life - In other parts of the world, brands show up in a way that replaces or challenges the government. They provide philanthropic solutions for those with no way forward or connect people to possibilities that change the immediate quality of their lives. Thank you Leah Mellard for the coordination throughout the entire process! #wavemaker #awards #media #judge #panel #creative

Founder & Creative Director at Agency SOS | A faster, better way to smart strategy & effective creative campaigns
I counted the Cannes Lions entries so you don't have to! 😉 Total entries are down 1.1% from last year. But don't cry for Cannes; they still pulled in an estimated $36M on entry fees, alone. The Mobile category was retired and a new Luxury & Lifestyle category was added. Beyond those category changes, it's interesting to see the entry trends—what attracted more entries and what fell? Innovation, Social & Influencer, and Creative Commerce are ⬆️. Pharma, Entertainment for Gaming, and Creative B2B are ⬇️. ADWEEK reports that total entries are down 38% from the high-water mark of of 2016. But attendance and revenue are up; the festival generated $129M in 2023. Click through the report below to see the numbers. #CannesLions #FestivalOfCreativity #FestivalOfMoney

Meet us in Cannes! We’ve set up our townhouse to provide a calming, yet engaging atmosphere juxtaposing the hustle and bustle of the festival. The atmosphere of the townhouse symbolizes our vision for a clutter-free online experience through ad filtering, embodying the principle that less is truly more. We look forward to discussing how our technology, along with our solutions for advertisers and publishers, can provide more incremental revenue, more impactful ads and more brand trust, all while improving the overall user experience. Located in a peaceful area of Cannes about an 8-minute walk from Palais des Festivals et des Congrès, our townhouse will be open Monday through Friday for various meetings, panels and apéros, offering a place for guests to “filter out” the noise. Here's a quick look at some events you may not want to miss: Tuesday 18 June - Women in ad tech breakfast from 10 AM - 12 PM to discuss practical steps to keep important initiatives like privacy, sustainability and DEI in focus even as priorities shift. - Conscious advertising breakfast for brands and advertisers from 10 AM to 12 PM to present findings from a pro-bono campaign with WildAid, using advertising to drive positive behavior change and applying green media best practices. - Open apéro evening from 4 PM - 6 PM to connect with other Cannes attendees, drinks and snacks included. Wednesday 19 June - Panel on media quality (or lack thereof) and if we zero in on this one issue, we may be able to improve a myriad of others from sustainability to brand safety (and more) 4 PM - 5 PM (with panelists from TAG, Good-Loop, The NAI). - Open apéro evening from 5 PM - 7 PM to continue the conversation. Thursday 20 June - Last chance for an apéro evening from 4 PM - 6 PM to network and recap the week’s events and insights. To get in touch or secure your invitation for one or more of these events, please use the link below. https://bit.ly/3XrsQh9 P.S. Note that the Olympic Flame will be passing through Cannes on Tuesday between 11 AM - 1 PM so you may want to factor that into your travel time as the roads will be closed. #Cannes2024 #Cannes #eyeoXCannes #AdFiltering #Sustainability

While everyone (looking at you Michael Thill) is off enjoying the sun and creativity at Cannes Lions, here I am, not jealous at all. Seriously, not one bit jealous. Not even a little. For those unfamiliar, the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity is a premier event in the advertising and communications industry. It runs from June 17-21 this year and features over 150 hours of content with around 500 speakers from across the globe. Icons like Deepak Chopra, Jay Shetty, and representatives from top companies like Google and P&G are sharing insights and innovations that are shaping the industry. https://lnkd.in/gv7s3rQH Why do we flock to events like this? The draw is in both the recognition and the opportunity for professional growth. From a behavioral science perspective, humans have a deep-seated desire for validation and acknowledgment. Awards like the Cannes Lions provide a platform to be judged and, hopefully, celebrated for our creativity and hard work. But why do we want to be judged? The answer lies in the psychological satisfaction of recognition, which can enhance self-esteem and motivate continued excellence. Beyond personal satisfaction, there are significant business reasons for pursuing these accolades. Winning at Cannes can enhance a company’s reputation, attract new clients, and justify higher fees for services. In essence, these awards are a tangible marker of success and a powerful marketing tool. However, at Havas Edge we believe that the best award is the trust and loyalty of our clients. While it's great to be recognized on such a prestigious stage, our ultimate goal is to consistently deliver value and results for our clients, day in and day out. That, to us, is the most meaningful accolade of all. Still, would be nice to be there.
