Art Director, Lily Kn, MRM-McCann

Lily is an art director at MRM//McCann and a proud member of Badass Gal, a platform championing exceptional creative women. She’s fearlessly building her own path in advertising. In her spare time, she’s involved in tech and illustration projects that have an impact in the big wide world.

What does it mean to you to be representing the UK at Cannes Lions this summer? 

Lily and David are extremely proud to represent the UK at Cannes Young Lions. Their very diverse backgrounds have given this young creative team unique experiences, different skill sets and strong attitudes which they’ll use to smash it at Cannes.
