Winners Spotlight

Cannes Lions is an example of the best winning work worldwide, so to be here and to be recognised here is amazing. It's proof of all the hard work the team did. It's going to motivate us to continue working for causes that we really care about and striving to do even better work each day.

I’ve been on the Jury twice so I know the standard is world-class. When I told my team I thought, ‘Finally, I can bring them on stage'.

Dentsu Creative

You come because you want to keep pushing yourself, you come because you believe that greatness is a never ending thing, you have to be resilient. It’s a mix between refreshing your mind, having fun, bringing the clients to show them the difference between good and great.

We hope the work inspires other teams inside and outside of Supercell to really be ambitious with the work. Our company mission is to make great games that people play for years and are remembered forever. With this win, with this work, we hope to.

Derek Chan

Marketing Leader

Supercell

We’ve participated and won in other Awards but there's nothing like Lions. The connections you make, the ideas you see, it’s a Festival like no other. I believe if you haven’t won a Lion you haven’t won any Festival at all.

Benjamín Pedrero

Executive Creative Director

BBDO, Mexico

It's sort of addictive. We're already writing down notes and insights that we're getting from the Palais and from the Basement, looking at all the inspiring work. We've told each other once we're back from Cannes, we have to keep the fire going.

Hannah Sterke

TBWA\Neboko

I feel about two foot taller. Being a creative is entirely subjective, you spend your entire career holding things up for people and it's based entirely on how they feel. A Lion is one of the few objective things that proves that you're good at this. So it feels great.

Cannes Lions is our dream, it’s the biggest thing for us. The visibility that being here brings to our work is unlikely we could achieve anywhere else.

VP Creative Director

Area 23

For the Film industry, it's the Oscars, for sports it's the Stanley Cup or the NBA. For us, Cannes Lions is the top award that we all look for. More and more clients want to win a Lion because you need to have business results at the core of the idea.

Anthony Chelvanathan

Chief Creative Officer

Edelman Canada

Cannes means the celebration of creativity and creativity is our core business. As marketeers, as creatives in this industry, our role is to inspire everybody to make and to help build enduring brands.

Renata Bokel

CEO

McCann Brazil

In Greece, not many pieces of work win Awards here at Cannes. So it's important that a job for the government managed to do that. And hopefully it will raise the bar for all advertising. Cannes is the biggest Awards show in advertising and it's a great honor for us. It attracts more talent, our clients get more courageous and approve bolder stuff.
