Full Programme

Lions Festival CEO Phil Thomas presents a unique session showcasing the learning and inspiration that emerged from Cannes Lions 2012.

Today, with the power of peer-to-peer connection, social media and limited budgets, if brands aren't part of a conversation, they are setting a low ceiling for the reach and impact of their marketing. Now more than ever, being timely, connected to the media agenda and expressing a strong point of view is important - great creativity is always the most powerful amplifier.

Meet Robert Nakata and Carlo Cavallone from 72andSunny Amsterdam. 72andSunny is known for its ability to tap into the cultural climate and get its clients’ brands into a larger conversation. The agency prides itself on creating work that strikes a social chord to engage people, evidenced by its recent Cannes Lions Grand Prix win for the compelling and controversial Benetton 'Unhate' campaign.

Let Robert and Carlo entertain you with some of the most interesting and thought-provoking work the agency has produced in recent years, for brands such as Samsung and United Colors of Benetton. Going beyond 72andSunny's work, they'll also highlight culturally relevant examples that transcend advertising.

You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll sing along-- you might even consider switching cell phones. In the end, you'll be wishing the Pope sued you, too.

Chris Perry, Joint CEO at Fabric Worldwide, focuses on data visualisation and how creativity in this area leads to new opportunities for agencies.

But this isn't simply about pretty pictures and funky interactive tools. It’s about how data, smart tools and thinking help us uncover new stories about brands and consumers that we as an industry often miss.

Simple, sexy data for all is about the marriage of big data technology with simple, contextual reporting, arresting visuals, the tools to socialise findings, and a layer of good old fashioned human intuition.

Why knowing the world's best recipes won’t make you the world's best chef.

Sometimes you need to go outside your industry to better understand it. Adman and chef João Wengorovius talks about the power of unusual juxtapositions, why is it so hard to get three Michelin stars, and truly exceptional agencies.

Storytelling is an intrinsic part of most cultures, and there are some stories that need to be told again and again, to every generation. They tell us of who we are, where our tribe has been, and what is important about the culture we belong to. Great events such as the London 2012 Opening Ceremonies showcase the power of story to tell us who we are and what we care about.

Join McCann Worldgroup, The Official Marketing Services Provider to the London 2012 Olympic & Paralympic Games, for a one-on-one conversation with Martin Green, Head of Ceremonies, and the mastermind behind the London 2012 Opening Ceremonies, as he shares the inspiration, the narrative, and the behind-the-scenes of one of the most imaginative opening ceremonies in the history of the Olympics.

Celebrate the opening of Eurobest 2013, with relaxed drinks sponsored by shots, inside the Festival venue at the end of day one. As soon as the final seminar of the day ends, join your fellow delegates at the venue's bar to meet old friends and make new acquaintances.
