Cannes Contenders: FCB Ulka, Interface

How much time really does a Cannes juror get to understand a case or piece of work s/he hasn't come across before? Too little. It's up to us to help them get acquainted with the good work prior.     While we do that through the year, this Riviera season we have decided to go the extra mile to celebrate the contenders.    

 

We present here entries from Indian / South Asian agencies that their creators believe will be in contention for Lions at the 2016 International Festival of Creativity, Cannes.  

Naming Streets After Street Kids – Inspiring Schooling

Categories: Promo, Outdoor

‘The world’s first streets named after street kids’ is an initiative to inspire kids in Mumbai’s slums to stay in school. Rooted in the insight that they tend to veer towards crime given the perceived fame associated with it, FCB Interface came up with the idea of making them famous for excelling in school. Client Door Step School named the streets in the locality after children who did well and rewarded their parents too. The activity continues.
