It’s been a flat start to the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity for regional agencies, with only a handful of silver and bronze Lions picked up during the first awards ceremony of the festival.
At the Palais des Festivals this evening, awards were handed out in the direct, mobile, press and promo & activation categories.
Geometry Dubai was the biggest regional winner of the evening, taking home a silver and three bronzes in promo & activation and direct, while Tunisia’s 3SG-BBDO won a silver in the mobile category and a direct bronze for its ‘Backup Memory’ campaign for Samsung. The bulk of Geometry’s awards were for its ‘Handle on hygiene’ work for Lifebuoy.
