Cannes Lions announced Cyber, Design and Direct juries

Cannes Lions’ organizers announced the members and presidents of 3 additional juries that will evaluate and award this year’s entries in Cyber, Design and Direct Lions categories.

The prestige associated with winning a Lion is largely a result of the calibre of the professionals judging the work. It is therefore fitting to have such a formidable group of industry experts, who will no doubt help inspire and advance the global communications industry with the outcome of their deliberations. We very much look forward to welcoming them all to Cannes in June.

Philip Thomas,

CEO Lions Festivals
