The organisers of the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, the largest global annual awards celebrating excellence in creative communications, are honoured to announce members of Direct Lions categories.
Commenting on the jury line-up, Philip Thomas, CEO of Lions Festivals says, “The prestige associated with winning a Lion is largely a result of the calibre of the professionals judging the work. It is therefore fitting to have such a formidable group of industry experts, who will no doubt help inspire and advance the global communications industry with the outcome of their deliberations. We very much look forward to welcoming them all to Cannes in June.”
The jurie will be chaired by James McGrath, Creative Chairman, Clemenger BBDO Melbourne, Australia (Direct Lions).
