Welcome to Optimism

Cannes

Cannes Lions has been and gone. There may be a few tired (and sunburned) souls around the office today, but we're thrilled with the recognition we received for our work: we and our brilliant production partners ended up lugging home 10 Lions for our work. 

Honda 'The Other Side' was awarded golds in storytelling and interactive video in Cyber, a Film gold in personal screens and Daniel Wolfe/Somesuch won a gold for direction in Film Craft. Factory took home a Film Craft gold in sound design and a silver in Cyber for music and sound design.

Two of our other brands were also honoured in Saturday's ceremony: Finish 'Dishes' won a silver Lion in Film for household goods, and our Lurpak 'Freestyle' film produced by MJZ bagged a silver in Film Craft for editing, and two bronze Film Craft Lions for cinematography and direction. 
 
Congratulations to all the winners and the survivors.
