Cannes 2008: The Cannes debate
Day Six of the Cannes Lions 2008 festival had Crispin Porter + Bogusky talking about the power of the story and the Cannes Debate take place. Can online actually help create brands and sell existing ones?
It’s raining Lions, hallelujah!
The Times of India’s ‘Lead India’, campaign created by JWT won the Titanium Lion at the 55th Cannes Lions awards ceremony held at the Grand Auditorium at the Palais in Cannes on Saturday night. O&M’s spot for Neo Sports titled ‘Gas’ won a Silver Lion in the Film category. That concludes the final tally of metals for India for this year at 23, which is the best that the country has ever had as the curtain fell on this year’s annual creative festival.
