Cannes Lions Festival
While most people have heard of the Oscars or Emmys, the Cannes Lions Festival may not ring any bells. However, at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, the most brilliant minds in the communications industry come together to honor the most outstanding work in the advertising and communications industries. As the Managing Director of Agency Business Development at Google, Torrence Boone watched with pride as the company’s Executive Chairman, Eric Schmidt, won the 2011 Media Person of the Year award. Previous recipients of the Media Person of the Year Award include Facebook’s Founder and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Mark Zuckerberg, Viacom’s Chairman Sumner Redstone, and AOL’s CEO, Gerald Levin. This was the first time a Google executive took home the esteemed award. In addition, Google also took home one of the three Cyber Lions Grands Prix awards, and the New York Google Creative Lab was honored for its “The Wilderness Downtown” entry. Torrence Boone credits Mr. Schmidt’s leadership in helping Google develop into a worldwide leader in the digital age.
The judges select winners from more than 24,000 entries from around the globe. The coveted Lion trophies are given to recipients at four award ceremonies during the weeklong festival. In addition to recognizing the industry’s best, the festival also serves as a meeting place and catalyst for professional growth. The agenda includes a variety of events, including lectures from some of the field’s most highly regarded members. Besides Google’s Eric Schmidt, the 2011 program included speakers such as CNN’s Piers Morgan, Carolyn Everson, and Dr. Edward de Bono, whom many regard as the leading authority in the field of innovation and creative thinking.
Touted as a must-attend event for any professional in the brand communications field, the Cannes Lions Festival draws over 8,000 delegates from 90 countries who attend its workshops, classes, seminars, screenings, and exhibitions.
The Festival also caters to the next generation of brand experts in its Young Lions Zone.
