THE WHATS OF CANNES LIONS 2015
DATA DRIVEN
CREATIVITYData and technology are
fundamentally changing how advertising is created, bought and sold. They have become a playground for imagination to
create more emotional and meaningful connections between
brands and consumers and tell more relevant stories than ever.
Game changing campaigns at Cannes this year clearly
demonstrate creativity enhanced and enabled by the use,
interpretation, analysis or application of data.

Take a risk and make a bold investment in data and technology.
Use data to customize products, services, messaging and content to consumers’ needs to become an integral part of their always-on lives and conversations.
REAL TIME CONNECTIONSReal-time marketing is no longer just a nice to have. Brands are working hard to stay at pace with the connected consumer by converging data, social, real time content production and distribution to meet the demands of the always-on digital world and drive social interactions with the brand.

Listen in to culture to identify relevant topics for your brand and react with high quality contextually relevant content for every moment, audience and platform.
Identify topics ahead and pre-plan activation and brand response variants.
Whenever your brand has generated a content or conversation, scale it in real time to get maximum exposure and a share of culture.
BRAVE SIMPLICITYNothing ever went viral by taking
the safe route. Risks allow to tell a story and surprise people with
something new or unforeseen. This year at Cannes, a lot of winning
work showcased that disruption and business results can be
achieved by being brave enough to execute very simple ideas very
skillfully. Simplicity is increasingly more appreciated in a world of
complicated solutions and sophisticated technologies facing consumers every step of the way.

CREATIVE EFFECTIVENESS
Learnings in action
Do not overcomplicate things, the idea should be simple to grasp but disrupting in its thinking to wow people.
When making a creative decision, go for simple instead of big and complicated.
Take risks to surprise people with something simple, unforeseen and earn free publicity.
EMOTIONAL STORIESWhen looking at the brands that manage to stay the most relevant, instead of pushing a sale directly they build very emotional campaigns based on stories of real people. And while the ‘telling’ still very much matters, it is through the stories of real human experiences that consumers come to truly understand and connect to the premise and purpose of brands, ultimately driving loyalty.

TAKING A STANDOne of the biggest stories coming out of this year’s festival is that brands are converging their brand promise with a cultural purpose, adopting social issues and leveraging key cultural trends. Done well, it creates a viral moment that gets people talking about what the brand stands for. In particular this year, issues of gender empowerment and stereotypes took
center-stage and showed consumers the
positive effect brands can have
upon shaking up entrenched
cultural norms on
a mass scale.
