Global insights for the African continent - 29 Jun 2015

By Leigh Andrews

This week, we draw international inspiration as John Beale shares special insights from the recent Festival of Media Global 2015, which took place in Rome. Two main trends set to still hit the continent are the fact that programmatic is still shrouded in confusion, and TV is threatened by digital - off our shores, at least.

If it's award-winning work you're looking for, you're in luck as all the Cannes Lions winners have been released, and we've paid special attention to winning work that came from the southern tip of the continent here.
