It’s a sweaty Friday afternoon in the office here in London. Energy levels beginning to wane. But many hours to go till hometime. Meanwhile, in a galaxy, far, far away, the Cannes Advertising Festival is underway. This gathering of the great, the good, the glamorous and the guttered is the Oscars of the ad business. Without the big money or the stars, but with just as much ego and conspicuous consumption. Wieden +Kennedy London picked up the Grand Prix last year – for our Honda ‘Grrr’ commercial. So, we were Kings of the World and All Space for a few minutes. Ad Age tips us again as a potential Grand Prix winner. That’ll no doubt jinx us. TV awards are announced Saturday night, so we’ll see.
