Cannes is calling this June – and we’ll be there! - 1 Jun 2015By Leigh AndrewsThere's no need to be sad if you won't be attending the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity in person, as we have the next-best thing for you: This year, we've appointed Ann Nurock as our first media correspondent on the ground in Cannes, bringing you winners' category shortlists, social media updates, seminar report backs and at least one Bizcommunity exclusive interview per day. Sit back, relax and get ready, as you can't get any closer to Cannes than with Bizcommunity this June! With three weeks and counting to go until Cannes Lions, there's lots to get you into a winning advertising mindset before then, with the latest Creative Circle Award of the Month results released on 28 May 2015 with TBWA Hunt Lascaris as hosts. Stephen Sandmann also writes about digital marketing innovation with Google Voice Search and explains today's 'No interface trend', based on our growing addictions to digital information. Lastly, we look into [Loeries 2015] Agency expectations with... Ogilvy & Mather Cape Town's Managing Director, Luca Gallarelli. Enjoy! | Leigh Andrews
Andrews was on the inaugural Marketer of the Year (MOTY) jury for the 2019 Marketing Achievement Awards (MAA) as well as an #Inspiring50 2018 nominee herself, and judged over 500 entries for the most recent Epica Awards - the only creative prize awarded by journalists working for marketing and communications magazines around the world. She's also serving on the IAB (SA)'s #Bookmarks2020 Publisher panel. Responsible for keeping a finger on the pulse of the latest happenings in the marketing and media industry, this is an almost 24/7 role that involves keeping one eye on your inbox with the other on your social media feed, to write breaking news stories and interviewing key people in the B2B space. All made easier by 13 years of working for companies such as Microsoft, Kagiso Media, Fleet Street Publications, the Mail & Guardian Online, Caxton Community Newspapers and Newsclip's media, marketing and PR publications. |
