You Sleep When You Die

A few days ago, there was movement as Ad Age reported that there will now be Lions given out for advertising effectiveness. At last, Cannes will be celebrating work that works. While part of me wonders what took them so long, I will simply tip my chapeau and say, “Très bon!”

A recent article in Ad Age announced the cancellation of many of the parties and other festivities scheduled at this year’s Cannes Festival. “You’d have to be tone-deaf to throw a big party this year in Cannes,” says DDB Worldwide CEO Chuck Brymer. According to the article, Cannes 2009 will be more focused on learning and improvement than parties and socializing.
