[Cannes] Countdown to Cannes Lions!

It’s Cannes Lions time again! The 55th International Advertising Festival starts on Sunday, 15 June 2008, and once again, Bizcommunity.com will be represented by a guest blogger. This time around, it’s Pam Marsh, GM of The Refinery, so look out for her commentary from Tuesday 17 June!

Looks like it could be an exciting festival for South Africa this year – Velocity Films writes that MTN Clap has been selected by Shots as a Cannes Contender.
