CANNES 2009
Here be Lions Titanium and Integrated jury head says Wall Street was the real judge this year
And Nostradamus says... In our quest to beat the Cannes Lions bookies, we asked top global creatives to put their best betting brain forward, put their rep on the line, and name names.
Nine tips for frugal frolicking on the French Riviera Aside from the usual (and boring) cost-saving prudences like flying coach, finding a hotel off the Croisette or skipping Cannes all together, we asked CDs to give us, in addition to their winning predictions, their top suggestions for doing Cannes on the cheap.
The IT List
The IT List You know what's awesome? No? We do. And it doesn't start with 'r' and end with 'ecession'. It's a hamper full of companies, people, gadgets and trends that entertained, enlightened and impressed us over the last 12 months, all wrapped up in a pretty ribbon and with our sincerest love. You're welcome.
