Cannes debrief
I thought it would be interesting to go back over the the last post on trends and see where things netted out - specifically looking at the grand prix and a selection of gold lions.

Before heading off to Cannes, I thought I’d take a stab at some of the trends we may see coming out this year — mainly focusing on cyber & integrated. So here goes….
