Canadian agencies have a bit more to sing about at Cannes Lions today.
BBDO’s Gold Lion for the “Parkscapes” led off the second day, which included a dozen wins across the Social & Influencer, PR, Creative Strategy, Media and Direct categories.
Also announced today were 19 more nominations across the six shortlists in the Entertainment and Craft categories. While several of those were for campaigns that have already picked up their fair share of shortlist mentions, it was also the first time a handful of others got some shine at this year’s festival.
And our ongoing check in with Canadian jurors continued, with Anthony Chelvanathan, Jordan Doucette, Krista Webster, Caroline Moul and Laura Kim offering insights around what was on their mind while they were in the virtual jury rooms.
Tomorrow’s shortlists are a hefty batch, covering the Film, Mobile, Audio, Business Transformation, Experience & Activation, eCommerce, Sustainable Development and Creative Effectiveness Lions. After those are released, Wednesday’s virtual award ceremony will reveal the winners of the Lions in Entertainment and Craft.
