The Entertainment Lions celebrate creativity that turns content into culture. Entries will need to demonstrate ideas that are unskippable; that is work which captivates in order to cut-through, communicate a brand message or connect with consumers in a new way.

“…making content that is genuinely useful and entertaining is hard.
The challenge for brands (and agencies) is that the bar for what customers value as great content is so high. Your
competition isn’t other brands in your category, or even other brands at all. It’s every piece of content being
created, uploaded and shared, by anyone, anywhere in the world. It’s everything from a live stream of a freefall
parachute jump from outer space, to pictures from my old school friend’s wedding on Facebook.”

The Direct Lions celebrate response-driven and relationship-building creativity. Entries will need to demonstrate the pursuit and
application of meaningful results; that is work created to directly influence ongoing consumer behaviour via a call-to-action or
mechanism producing a measurable response.

1. Artificial intelligence or Beneficial intelligence is an important trend this year and will continue to be.
2. Empowering women/gender equality and inclusivity are incredibly important topics for brands to acknowledge and do something about.
3. Many societal trends have an impact on brand work. It’s important for brands to be in touch at all times.
4. When it comes to thinking about channels we need to think outside of our own (CRM) box.
5. Craft is incredibly important – this year saw the lowest number of entries for print, which the advertising industry laments.
