Sun, sea, sand… and some serious discussion with full range of activities planned for the week

The LBB & Friends Beach is celebrating a decade on the Croisette – and the original Cannes beach club is growing up in style. Not only has the Plage Croisette Beach had a gorgeous makeover but we’re using the space to host a series of forums and discussions focussing on the real topics we’re all talking about in 2019.


A couple are by invitation only, but others are open so swing by and listen in.


As ever, there’s Happy Hour, 4pm-6pm, Tuesday-Friday. And, this year, in celebration of the 10th anniversary we’ll also be hosting a big old party on Wednesday 19th. The bash will kick off at 9pm and will be DJ’d by the one and only DJ Miss G – a.k.a. Georgie MacEchern. If you have a wristband for the LBB & Friends Beach, that will also get you entry to the party, you lucky people. Big thanks to our drinks sponsors Absolute Post, AOI Pro, Cinelab McCann Craft, MediaMonks, and Modern Advertising.


And of course, an equally big thanks to the sponsors of the LBB & Friends beach who are making it all happen. 360FX, ARRI Rental, Best Ads on TV, Bluescape, butter music + sound, Chesterfield Insurance Services, Chrome Productions, Cinelab, Clear Channel UK, Creativity is GREAT: UK Advertising @Cannes Lions, Dept Agency, Electric Glue, The Farm Film Production, Good Films, KKR, Kodak, London International Awards, M&C Saatchi, MCA - MurphyCobb Associates, Modern Advertising, MullenLowe Group, No Sheet Music, Peach, peoplegrapher, Pronto Film, Ready to Shoot, SNK Studios, Splash Worldwide, System1, Talon Outdoor, thenetworkone, Zoo Digital... you are all heroes.

Will you vote for or against the motion - Creativity is the most important factor in a business beating its competitors. Leading figures from the world of advertising will present the case for and against the motion – watch this space and make sure you are there to cast your vote!

Title is Testing in The Lions’ Den

Hosted by System1

 

This panel will reveal the results of System1’s latest testing project and explore effectiveness and creativity. There will be a game show where if you can predict which ads scored well you’ll win free drinks. And there will be our hot-off-the-presses reveals of how this year’s Cannes favourites have tested.

We wanted to do a bit of research into the old idea that testing kills creativity. It matters what you measure. We can see with our own eyes that the work that wins Gold Lions at Cannes is a lot better than the baseline ad.

But how much better? Which are the best of the best – the ads which not only won over the juries but proved their effectiveness with a real audience too? And is there a gulf between the ads that move consumers and the ads that delight juries?

That’s what we decided to find out. Testing In The Lions Den takes 75 ads – Gold Lion and Grand Prix winners from the 2010s in the film category – and tests them just as we would any other ad.

Budget's Down. Pressure's Up. Who's giving a S#*t?

Hosted by MurphyCobb & Associates

 

Can great work still thrive when all anyone seems to care about is getting more for less?

 

In a world where it appears the only certainty is marketers having to produce so much more (and so many different kinds of) stuff without bigger budgets to match, can you really get quicker, cheaper content without losing your creative soul? Or is great work the inevitable first casualty of the rush to do more for less?

 

Hear what five ad industry luminaries, all with very different perspectives, have to say on the matter.
