Higher goals than a Grand Prix? Impossible.
For the second time since the end of the pandemic, the Cannes Lions Festival is taking place in person in an ode to creativity. Among all the categories awarded at this festival, each of them has its chance to win one or more grand prizes.
This is the ultimate reward for an agency with a presence in Cannes. After a particularly successful 2021, last year has not been very generous with French agencies not receiving a Grand Prix every year. Were we able to catch up on this delay with this 70ᵉ edition? The answer in this article.
