On the French Côte d’Azur this year’s edition of Cannes Lions festival lasts in a full swing. As every year, the event provides a solid dose of inspirational speeches of people from creative industry (this year, thanks to D. Copperfield, the magician), but it is the”Golden Lions” gala awards that always catches the attention of the world of advertising. This time the prizes are awarded in 24 categories.
