Apologies for taking a few days to pull this together but we have now gathered all JWT’s Cannes Lion winners for you to show your mum so that she knows what a great company you work for and share with your clients so that they know what a great company they work with.
As we discussed at the Exco meeting in London last week (and previously on ‘the good stuff’) this pride of lions, 39 in all, was enough to get us into 4th place, JWT’s best ever result. Next year we have set ourselves the goal of finishing in the top 3. This mighty challenge is going to take some doing and it’s going to have to start now.
Next week we will be reviewing the Q2 work at the Global Creative Challenge and planning how to better our performance at Cannes. In that precise order. We have to stay focused on creating ‘great ideas that people want to spend time with’ in every channel. That’s what we’re committed to as a creative philosophy and what has so far served us very, very well. And when we do that brilliantly those ideas get highly valued in the GCC, celebrated and circulated inside the company. Often those same ideas are picked up and celebrated outside the company in the media and in award shows like Cannes.
Let’s make sure that we continue marching to the beat of our own drum and produce plenty of great work every quarter. Be assured, if it’s good enough the lions will come.
