CANNES DAILY DIARY: Day 4 with Cameron Watson
In this diary, we get a two-for-one Cannes special from Accenture Song ECD Cameron Watson. From the nerves and pride of presenting ‘The Philipstown WireCar Grand Prix’ to the Titanium jury, to Silver Lion celebrations, Saffa meet-ups, and the beautiful blur that makes Cannes feel like one giant, sun-drenched fever dream, Cameron's says it perfectly.
CANNES DAILY DIARY: Day 4 with Mariana O’Kelly

CANNES DAILY DIARY: Day 3 with Bridget Harpur
For her first Cannes Lions, Volkswagen Group Africa Head of Marketing Bridget Harpur navigates the heat (and rosé) like a seasoned professional. One thing that stands out for her is the South Africans. Competitors at home, one team at Cannes. Her diary is a reminder of what an incredible bunch of humans we are. Go Team SA 🇿🇦
CANNES DAILY DIARY: Day 3 with Tatiana Ndlovu
Nedbank Africa Regions Executive Head of Marketing Tatiana Ndlovu packs more into a single Cannes day than most people manage in a week. And we thought rosé on the terrace was exhausting. It's inspiring to see someone make the most of every opportunity this festival offers. If you've ever wondered what Cannes Lions really has to offer, this diary is for you.
CANNES DAILY DIARY: Day 2 with Fran Luckin
Boundless Co-CCO Fran Luckin's words never let us down. She shares the quotes and convo's that stuck with her, from creativity and career growth to why the Red Hot Chili Peppers may have cracked the code on long-term creative partnerships.
