Unofficial Partner - The Big Idea: 2023 Cannes Lions for Sport Review

Published on: 20th July, 2023

The Big Idea is Unofficial Partner series on creativity in sports marketing with regular co-host Simon Moore, award winning Consulting Creative Director.

Our guest is David Proudlock, Chief Strategy Officer at Crispin Porter Bogusky London.

The Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity is home to the world's most prestigious advertising awards.

The blurb says that Cannes celebrates 'creativity, effectiveness and innovation in the global advertising, marketing and communication industries'.

An award in the sport category has become much sought after by sports marketing agencies and their clients.

But what sort of work is getting rewarded with a gong, and what does that mean for the relationship between sport and the creative industry today.

The full list of awarded work is available here.

The creative referenced in this podcast includes:

Grand Prix

DREAMCASTER MICHELOB ULTRA

PEDIDOSYA WORLD CUP DELIVERY
