Cannes Lions launched a humorous and unique new campaign, put together by McCann London for the Cannes Lions International Festival Of Creativity, which urges agencies to send under-performing staff to the event. “Invest in creativity – cheaper than redundancy”, the campaign advises, leading up to the event on June 21st.

Rob Doubal, co-president and joint chief creative officer at McCann London, said:

“Although our campaign is humorous, it makes a very sensible point. Why should being a Cannes Lions delegate be the preserve of the already excellent? If we really want a more creative world, as we all profess, we should also be encouraging the not-so-excellent performers to be inspired by Cannes Lions”.
