Auch die mächtigen Cannes-Löwen haben Respekt von den Corona-Viren. Das Cannes-Lions-Festival wird vom Juni 2020 in den Herbst verschoben und soll nun vom 26. bis 30.Oktober 2020 über die Bühne gehen.

Zuvor wurden ja bereits das ADC-Festival, die Online Rock Stars sowie Kreativ-Wettbewerbe wie die Plakadiva und die Best of Content Marketing Awards verlegt.

Philip Thomas, Chairman, Cannes Lions, commented: "The global situation is dynamic and changing rapidly, we felt it was critical to provide visibility on June as soon as possible. We will continue to liaise closely with our customers as we develop our plans."

Simon Cook, Managing Director, Cannes Lions, added: "Our community is facing unprecedented challenges and collaboration has never been more important. We are focussed now on planning the festival – and our beating heart, the Lions – to ensure our community is able to recognise the extraordinary work it contributes to business, organisations and society."
