Cannes Lions: Design, Direct, PR, Promo & Activation juries announced

"These juries show a great mix of character, skill, expertise and knowledge and we are delighted that they could all come together to judge some of the best creative work in the world. We are sure to see some truly inspirational work awarded as a result of their judging process in Cannes," says Philip Thomas CEO of Cannes Lions.

These four juries each have their own Jury President, with Luciano Deos, President of GAD Design in Brazil chairing the Design Jury; Alexander Schill, Chief Creative Officer and Partner of Serviceplan Group in Germany leading the Direct Jury; Warren Brown, Creative Founder of BMF in Australia presiding over the Promo & Activation Jury; and Dave Senay, President and Chief Executive Officer of Fleishman-Hillard International Communications heading up the PR Jury.

All entries will be judged and awarded during the Festival in Cannes with the Promo & Activation, PR and Direct Lions winners being announced at the Awards Ceremony on Monday 20 June and the Design winners on Wednesday 22 June.
