Cannes Lions Jury Presidents
Gail Chiasson, North American Editor
A full line-up of Cannes Lions Jury Presidents has been announced.
“It’s not easy to win a Lion,” says Philip Thomas, CEO, Lions Festivals. “On average, our juries will award just 3% of more than 40,000 entries. They’re looking for unique work that is creatively exceptional and challenges the norm. What we look for in our presidents is people that have been in this 3% time and time again. It’s a significant responsibility leading a Cannes Lions jury and we’re incredibly proud to have such a powerful mix of individuals who know what creative excellence looks like, because they have it in abundance themselves.”
