The Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity is an international, highly renowned festival of creativity and a global event for those working in the creative communications, advertising and related fields, very much like the Oscars of advertising. Founded in 1954, the festival features an eight-day programme of creative inspiration, celebration, education and networking, with over 15,000 delegates from around 100 countries:

Doing things differently to how they’ve been done before is often a leap of faith, and that is why great ideas still have to be fought for.
