I’m starting to get why it’s mostly young people in advertising cause everyone over 34 understands it’s complete bullshit.

U suck if U don’t win Lions. However, if U win them, the C-Suite goes to Cannes and gets the bonus. Not U.

U didn’t get 5 Lions this year? Watch out for layoffs. Even though U pitched the same 3 ideas that some other agency ended up selling and winning 30 Lions.

“U need to be more purpose driven in ur ideas.” Also, “client doesn’t want any tension.” 🫠

I have 0 lions and am doing fine. Maybe you need to find an agency or leadership with better priorities.

Little perspective, maybe.

I have 0 lion. 🤫 Shhhhh.

What’s with all the U’s?

The banality of all things advertising-related summed up in one hot take, bless you!

Are lions tied to actual impact on the brand’s bottom line? From what I see, most of the “wow such a cool creative concept” stuff seems unlikely to drive any additional ROI compared to other non-lion winning projects.
