Cannes Digest: More Gold and a lot more shortlist nominations

Another day, another Gold Lion.

Tuesday’s award show brought Design Gold to BBDO, but also 12 other wins in Cannes’ Craft- and Entertainment-focused categories.

Wednesday morning was all about the Engagement categories, some of the most-entered of the festival. While there were no Canadian nominations in the new Creative B2B Lions, there are still two dozen more shortlist spots, with the winners being announced tomorrow.

The third awards show is a big one, covering seven different categories where Canadian agencies have 20 nominations: Innovation, Brand Experience & Activation, Creative Business Transformation, Creative Commerce, Creative Effectiveness, Creative Strategy and Mobile.
