McCann Worldgroup’s Post

Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity 2024 was an amazing week where we showed the power of #MWTogether. The week was full of incredible wins, the result of months of hard work and collaboration with our clients and across our network.   There were so many moments of immense pride. Our screening of “The Final Copy of Ilon Specht,” which we created in partnership with L'Oréal Paris, TRAVERSE32 – directed by the brilliant Ben Proudfoot of Breakwater Studios, that celebrates the extraordinary story of courage, creativity and conviction of the life of Ilon Specht the talent behind L’Oréal Paris’ iconic tagline, “Because I’m Worth It,” counts among those moments.   Thank you to everyone across our global network for you talent, drive, tenacity and creativity. Thank you to our clients. And thank you to Cannes Lions 2024 for inspiring our creative community every year with this remarkable event. #McCannWorldgroup #CannesLions2024 #TruthWellTold

76% of Asians believe their societies are better equipped to handle the stresses of modern life than Western ones. This is just one of the many interesting insights unveiled at Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, where we presented a preview of our “Truth About Ascending Asia” research we have been focused on this year. In an exclusive interview with Campaign Asia-Pacific, Shilpa Sinha, Chief Strategy Officer for McCann Worldgroup APAC, unpacks what we can learn from this important report.

Thank you to Campaign UK for highlighting the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity award success of our McCann UK colleagues – in particular McCann London. In their words, “McCann was the most successful UK agency at turning its Cannes Lions nominations into gold or Grand Prix awards, topping several categories this year.” It’s always an honor to win at Cannes, and we have our clients to thank for that. Without them, we would not be able to practice the radical creativity and truth-telling that is so central to our mission at McCann Worldgroup.    #McCannWorldgroup #TruthWellTold Javier Campopiano

In his article in ADWEEK today, our Global Chief Creative Officer Javier Campopiano says, “I have learned more about the power of an idea from the comments of random people hanging in the Palais or connecting with others over casual lunches than from anything that can be read or discussed online.” Find more of his insight and inspiration in the full article here: https://lnkd.in/eU-dqtAT #McCannWorldgroup #TruthWellTold

Congratulations to our friends and colleagues at Weber Shandwick who have won the prestigious Brand Experience & Activation Lions Grand Prix for their work on "The First Edible Mascot" for Pop-Tarts (Kellanova)!   While most brands turn their food into a mascot, their team flipped the script: for the first time ever, they turned a mascot into food and fed it to the winning team. As a result, Pop-Tarts became a pop culture sensation, dominating conversations across college football, social media, and mainstream news: https://lnkd.in/gVMH98PQ Bravo!   #McCannWorldgroup #CannesLions2024 #TruthWellTold
