Cannes Lions 2013 reveals stellar Jury President line-up

Marking 60 years of creativity in June 2013, the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity has announced the names of 16 Jury Presidents who will chair the juries this year.

Commenting on this year’s jury chairs, Philip Thomas, CEO, Lions Festivals said, “When you reach your Diamond Jubilee, it’s only right to celebrate with something special. And with this group of presidents, it’s no exaggeration to say that there can never have been such a talented – not to say intimidating – group ever assembled to judge the world’s best work. More than ever, anyone winning a Cannes Lion in 2013 can bask in the knowledge that their work has been judged by not only some of the biggest names currently at work today, but by giants from the history of advertising and communications.”
