All the #CannesLions 2016 winners! - 27 Jun 2016

By Leigh Andrews

All the #CannesLions 2016 winners! - Mon, 27 Jun 2016The Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity may be over for 2016 (click here for SA's top performing agencies and to view all the winning work), but we still have a stack of exclusive content coming through, mainly based on innovation and inspiration drawn from the talks and award night themes.

One of these is the importance of agency culture, which roving reporter Ann Nurock discussed with FCB Worldwide CEO Carter Murray. Our '#MannesInCannes' Tseliso Rangaka, ECD of Ogilvy Cape Town also submitted his half-time catch up, in which he shares some of his favourite work, well worth browsing through.

Then, as we near the end of #YouthMonth, Student Village shares insight into what we can learn from Afrillennials' smartphone preferences - long-life phone battery, anyone?

And with #Loeries2016 just a few weeks away, I found out more about this year's Creative Futures Scholarship from Greg Tregoning, the head navigator at Vega School of Brand Communications in Durban and member of the judging panel.

Local creatives, it's time to roar!
