Mike Pearson and Ross Nieuwenhuizen of ad agency 140 BBDO are on their way to Cannes Lions - the biggest and most prestigious advertising festival in the world - after picking up an award in 2011 for their Snickers "Would You Rather" radio campaign - which also featured at Loeries and D&AD.

Cannes Lions is a week of amazing speakers, workshops, sights and, of course, really, really amazing work. Throughout this smorgasbord of creativity, Mike and Ross will be updating everyone on what's being said, done and awarded - sure, it's not as good as being there, but it's all the motivation you need to get yourself there next year.

About Mike & Ross

Mike and Ross teamed up at 140 BBDO (www.140bbdo.com; Facebook; YouTube; blog) in 2010 and since then they have been lucky enough to work on brands including Snickers, Hunter's, Oude Meester and more - picking up a few local and international awards along the way - including most recently a double-win at the prestigious South African Creative Circle Ad of the Year Awards.

Aside from this, they are best known for their borderline-professional karaoke skills.
