Across yesterday afternoon and this morning we hosted UK House at Cannes Lions – a special partnership between our industry and UK Government – to celebrate the best of UK creativity and support businesses on their journey to going global.
In two days of creative inspiration attendees heard from a stellar line-up of speakers on a wide range of topics. This included, to name just a few; Aardman Studios on Wallace and Gromit’s The Big Fix Up, which was shortlisted for a Cannes Lion; a brilliant session on the power of gaming and blurring the online and physical worlds with adam&eveDDB, Verta, *Gamehers, Edge and EA Sports; Dole’s CMO Rupen Desai and St Luke’s’ ECD Richard Denney on whether brands should try to save the world; and a Going Global Masterclass, presented by our UK Advertising Exports Group and hosted by Gideon Spanier of Campaign with Atomic London, ignis and VCCP.
We were delighted to welcome attendees from more than 26 countries around the world. A huge thanks goes to everyone who came along, all of our fantastic speakers, UKAEG members and our sponsors – the Department of International Trade, the GREAT campaign and Cannes Lions.
