Nick Law (Chief Creative Officer of Publicis Groupe) has been announced as honorary Chairperson of Cannes Lions School at the 2019 Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity.
The organisation has launched as well a new online learning course, extending this way the suite of learning products to an audience around the world that can’t physically attend the Festival.
Law said, “The next generation of creative leaders are going to inherit and shape an industry in rapid transition. Their imagination, curiosity and obsession with all the proliferating new mediums will determine the success of this transition. That is why I am so happy to be the Chairperson of the Cannes Lion School this year. We have as much to learn from the next generation as they do us, and I am hoping to meet my future boss over the course of the program.”
New online training
Cannes Lions’ learning courses will focus on the fundamentals of creative marketing. The new series of short online courses will share the best insights from the Festival from some of the industry’s most esteemed luminaries.
Each course combines video, insights from industry experts and a showcase of Lion-winning work to provide tangible, practical skills.
The first course, titled Storytelling provides tools and techniques for users to bring stories to life, alongside lessons from industry experts including: Keith Reinhard (Chairman Emeritus, DDB), Rory Sutherland (Ogilvy UK Vice-Chairman), Debbi Vandeven (Global chief creative officer at VMLY&R) and Gabriela Lungu (Founder, WINGS Creative Leadership Lab).
