Five Things to Expect at Cannes (Not Counting Ros)


The 2017 Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity approacheth. With the boondoggle looming in just a few weeks, it’s not too soon to start planning your attack.

Ad Age sat down with Philip Thomas, CEO of Cannes Lions parent Ascential Events since last August and chief executive of Lions Festivals for 10 years before that, to find out what to look for this June.

1. Chinese invasion: Thomas said Chinese tech titans Tencent, which developed the WeChat social media platform (850 million users), and Alibaba, the e-commerce group, are putting on “big activations” and sponsorships this year. Tencent, he said, also built a platform that allows people to buy their festival passes in China through WeChat. “The Chinese have always entered and sent people, but they’ve been under the radar and this is the first time they’re really interested in taking a bigger position,” he said.

Special K - #Ownit / We eat / Women eat (2017) :30 (USA)
Women eat! This tremendous revelation is the new backbone of Special K marketing strategy in the United States, in order to distance itself from the “Kellog’s pinch an inch” past as a slim breakfast.

Special K – #Ownit / Women eat / Own it (2017) :30 (USA)

Special K - #Ownit / Women eat / Own it (2017) :30 (USA)
Special K USA is now following in Canada’s strategic footsteps and re-branding the “pinch an inch” diet cereal as some sort of woman-fuel instead. Here is an alternative edit that is also currently airing. “Women can do amazing things,” explains our spokesperson looking at the camera “our bodies can grow babies, we run marathons, companies, solve problems.” Now how can women do all that? Well, because they eat. Cut to lots of familiar womanly scenes such as wiggling out of your bra at the end of a long day, nursing your baby while snacking on a Special K bar, sharing special K snacks on the school bus and munching on a bowl of cereal for night snack. It’s clear that Special K wants to reposition itself as some sort of woman-fuel, rather than diet brand, but the reaction from consumers seems to be one enormous eye-roll . The Daily Mail reported that “fans have blased brand for claiming eating as a feminist act” “We Don’t Doubt It, We Own It,” replaces the old tagline “Eat special, feel special” and is the first campaign from Leo Burnett after winning the client back in January. But trying to make eating some sort of female-empowering act in a time when people are increasingly fed up with politicised ad strategies seems to already have backfired. But since Special K products contain lots of sugar, carbs and even trans fats, they had to steer slightly away from the “Healthy eating” idea. Hence the obvious “Women eat,” as if doing so was out of the ordinary. Women also breathe. Honestly surprised nobody has called this ad transphobic yet, considering the baby-making and nursing.
