UK retains second place ranking at Cannes Lions 2024

/ July 1st 2024
Cannes Lions Exports and International Trade Industry News Media Resource

We are delighted to announce that we celebrated continued success at the Cannes Lions 2024 award stage, with the UK taking home a total of 112 awards. McCann London secured a prestigious Titanium award, while our Young Lions triumphed with Golds in Design and Film, a Silver in Marketers, and a shortlist in Print. This remarkable performance keeps the UK in second place globally for the number of LIONS awarded.

The UK Advertising @ Cannes Lions programme was supported by APA, Clear Channel, Pinterest, Sky Media, Mail Metro Media and the UK Advertising Exports Group (UKAEG). During the week the UKAEG and Events teams hosted 37 events under the theme of the Business of Creativity. Highlights included the GREAT Global dinner at Carlton Beach which featured an after-dinner speech from actor and comedian Munya Chawawa and a special welcome from Comedian Milo McCabe AKA Troy Hawke.

We were also thrilled to host our inaugural Front Foot Leadership Lunch, bringing together over 30 senior members for a dynamic and inspiring gathering. A big thank you to Milka Privodanova and Pinterest for co-hosting and to everyone who attended.

This year, there were 98 speakers on the Palais and 27 jurors from the UK. This was the biggest programme UK Advertising has undertaken at Cannes Lions and a summary of the week is available here.
