Susie Walker, VP Awards & Insight, LIONS, comments,“The Debrief sessions will be packed with rich insights about the winning work. Each session - across the breadth of the Lions awards - will provide detailed analysis of the results and delve into why the Cannes Lions juries awarded their Lions - truly showcasing what Lion-winning creative excellence looks like today.”

The first Lions shortlists have now been announced for the Innovation Lions, Titanium Lions and Glass: The Lion for Change, and are available to view on The Work. Shortlisted entrants will present their work live to the juries, digitally, as part of the awards judging process.

Innovation Lions Jury member, Joakim Borgström, Worldwide Chief Creative Officer, BBH, says: “It was inspiring to see how nothing could lockdown creativity. This is evident in the Innovation Lions, where there are so many ideas that give back to the planet and humanity. I feel great about what we, as an industry, are capable of.”
