Commenting on his appointment, Barnwell says, “South Africa has really demonstrated its creative prowess in the print category in recent years. We have a huge opportunity to build on our reputation by having a greater presence in categories like radio, especially with the writing talent we have at our disposal.”
Each year, the Lions bring the cream of the advertising crop from across the globe together to laud creativity in the industry across all forms of media. The 54th edition of the festival is to be held 17 - 23 June 2007. For more information on the Cannes Lions, go to www.canneslions.com.
