More CEOs than ever this year.

More notorious entries with irregular and inflated results either withdrawn or disputed.

More boasting from leaders who supposedly have the entitlement to talk about creative excellence but lead agencies with faulty and inaccurate work.

More layoffs and budget cuts but still agency presence in La Croisette.

Do we agree that Cannes feels more like a bubble about to burst? 🎈 🪡

I doubt it will burst. This has been going on forever. CEOs need their little CEO adventures. Cheating creatives need ego boosts. Agencies and brands need to believe some part of this actually matters.
