Wrath of Cannes 2008

You might remember this from last year when, to honor those who couldn’t make it to Cannes, NY-based indie Woods Witt Dealy & Sons created the Wrath of Cannes website with the tagline, “Those who can go to Cannes. Those who can’t go to Coney.”

Well, this summer WWD&S is taking the Wrath of Cannes to new and freakish heights. The agency is actually putting together a real live awards show to take place on Coney Island (at Cha Cha’s Club Atlantis) during Cannes on June 19 (see attached flyer and trophy).

Visit the wrathofcannes.com for more details. The show is targeting juniors (in all disciplines, not just creative) with two years paid experience or less.

He says by wearing removable, laminated logos, he could rotate ads on a regular basis.
