Today’s episode is live from Whelans in Dublin at the IAPI Cannes Young Lions competition showcase. The Young Lions competition gives the next generation of industry superstars the chance to prove themselves answering a charity brief under intense pressure. It is a fantastic opportunity to celebrate & support young creative talent in Ireland. I was delighted to go along to the winners showcase and chat to some of the amazing creative teams that participated and won. We need to celebrate creativity and we need to encourage the next generation of creatives to stay in this industry and help elevate Ireland’s creative capabilities on the world stage. We are a nation of world class storytellers, artists, musicians - our creative outputs in marketing and advertising should be world class. These winners share the approach to tackling the brief, what it felt like to win and what they are expecting at Cannes. If you aren’t inspired by the future of creativity - listen to this and you will be.
