How much of the work that gets entered/wins at Cannes is real? Seeing criticism of fake work – but doesn’t this happen every year from a whole ton of agencies?

Yep, what SVP 1 said. And for me, it’s that much of it starts as “let’s create a Cannes-winning idea!” instead of at all being focused on what’s right for the client. But then, the clients use Lions to choose agencies so they’re not innocent either.

So it’s more like most Cannes submissions are bookended by b.s. ?
